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.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

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

Dognet holds a strong market position as a regional leader in affiliate marketing across multiple countries in CEE and the Balkans. Their competitive advantage lies in their deep market understanding, long-standing presence, and a large network of publishers and advertisers. Revenue streams are primarily from affiliate commissions based on CPA. The target customers include e-commerce businesses seeking performance marketing channels and publishers with advertising inventory. The company actively supports education and publishes marketing books, enhancing its ecosystem. Partnerships with recognized industry bodies and technology providers further strengthen its market credibility. The multilingual approach and localized sites indicate strategic regional expansion and customer segmentation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security-related headers present. Use of Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms indicate attention to privacy and bot mitigation. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The inclusion of multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts requires ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with formalized policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using WPBakery Page Builder and common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Flatpickr, and Select2. It leverages Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons. The site integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Matomo, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel, managed via Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern but relies on several third-party scripts which require continuous security monitoring. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
