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

CrowdRiff is a Canadian technology company specializing in destination marketing solutions. Their platform enables organizations such as DMOs, hotels, resorts, museums, and tour operators to source, manage, and publish user-generated visual content and short-form videos. Positioned as a trusted partner with over 900 destinations, CrowdRiff leverages partnerships with Instagram and Meta to enhance its market presence. The website reflects a mature SaaS business model focused on visual content marketing for the travel and hospitality sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including popular JavaScript libraries and integrations with HubSpot for marketing automation and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and moderate performance. Accessibility is basic but functional. The use of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates attention to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent blocking for scripts. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Certifications such as GDPR compliance and industry partner badges enhance trust. Overall, CrowdRiff's website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations. It effectively communicates its business value and maintains a high level of trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency could further strengthen its security posture.

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

4 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

CrowdRiff operates in the niche of destination marketing technology, offering SaaS solutions that streamline the sourcing and management of visual content. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating user-generated content with digital asset management and short-form video creation, addressing a growing demand in travel marketing. The company targets a broad range of clients in the hospitality and tourism sectors, leveraging partnerships with major social platforms to enhance service offerings. Growth indicators include a large customer base and recent feature launches. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with Instagram, Meta, and HubSpot, supporting marketing and operational capabilities. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and premium services. The website's content strategy, including blogs, ebooks, and webinars, supports lead generation and customer education. The company’s certifications and awards contribute to its market credibility and employer brand.

Security posture

CrowdRiff demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms controlling script execution. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The use of third-party marketing and analytics tools is managed with consent, aligning with privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, implementing security headers, and establishing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a robust set of modern JavaScript libraries and plugins enhancing interactivity and user experience. Integration with HubSpot and Google Tag Manager supports marketing automation and analytics. The site uses lazy loading and optimized media assets to improve performance. DNS prefetching and asynchronous script loading contribute to moderate loading speeds. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers to reduce risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, suggesting potential for further infrastructure transparency.
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.
