0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

CookieYes Limited operates a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. The company targets businesses of all sizes, offering a SaaS model with free trials and paid plans. With over 1.5 million users worldwide and trusted by major brands, CookieYes holds a strong market position in the privacy compliance technology sector. The website provides comprehensive information about their services, including cookie consent banners, automated consent management, and integrations with industry standards like Google Tag Manager and IAB TCF v2.2. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and Mixpanel. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, SEO, and accessibility. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security headers and policies are not evident. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of a published security policy and incident response contacts is a gap. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and business information are credible. Overall, CookieYes presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature platform with minor areas for improvement in security transparency. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response information, and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures. These steps will enhance trust and compliance posture, supporting CookieYes's leadership in the privacy compliance market.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

CookieYes is positioned as a leading CMP provider with a strong SaaS business model focused on privacy compliance. Their competitive advantage lies in Google certification, extensive integrations, and a large user base. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees from various plans. The target customers are businesses requiring GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy law compliance. Growth indicators include high user ratings, partnerships, and a broad global reach. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate programs and integrations with marketing and analytics platforms. Operationally, CookieYes emphasizes automation, ease of use, and regulatory updates, which align with market demands for privacy solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of a public security policy or incident response contacts represent compliance gaps. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The company should enhance transparency and readiness by publishing security policies and providing clear channels for incident reporting. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy on the website detailing security practices and compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or team, including dedicated email addresses (e.g., security@cookieyes.com).
  4. Add a security.txt file to the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Pendo, and affiliate tracking via Tapfiliate. The site is optimized for performance with preconnect hints and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable, performant, and user-friendly experience with opportunities to enhance security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
