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

DeFractal is a specialized data management and revenue growth platform targeting media publishers who want to optimize their first-party data usage and increase advertising revenue. The platform offers advanced audience segmentation, AI-driven monetization assistants, and retail media capabilities, positioning itself as a comprehensive solution for programmatic advertising optimization. The website content is professional and clearly communicates the business value and services offered. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and tracking pixels from LinkedIn and Leadfeeder, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but lacks security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status, which impacts overall trust. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security practices would strengthen the platform's trustworthiness and regulatory alignment.

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

5 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"

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Business context

Business profile

DeFractal operates in the media and technology sectors, focusing on data-driven monetization solutions for publishers. Its business model revolves around a SaaS platform that integrates data management, audience creation, and AI-powered monetization tools. The company has established partnerships with numerous regional media outlets, enhancing its market position. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and service contracts for platform usage. The target customers are media companies and publishers seeking to leverage first-party data for programmatic advertising. Growth indicators include client testimonials and a broad partner ecosystem. However, the unclear domain registration status could pose reputational risks. The company should consider enhancing transparency around domain ownership and compliance documentation to solidify market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form inputs requiring user consent for data processing. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security incident handling. The presence of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations that should be managed with clear cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented beyond the privacy policy link. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a SaaS platform but would benefit from enhanced security controls, transparency, and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed cookie policy and implement a consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  3. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to strengthen legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and tracking pixels from LinkedIn and Leadfeeder for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure or scripts. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site build. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is present but minimal, with meta tags and structured navigation but no advanced SEO markup or JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals but has room for modernization and enhanced compliance.
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.
