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

Dotmetrics is a technology company specializing in big data audience measurement and analytics. The company collects and analyzes billions of device events daily to provide detailed audience insights for businesses. Their market presence includes customers across several European countries and the UK, positioning them as a regional player in the big data analytics space. The website reflects a professional business model focused on data measurement services with a clear emphasis on privacy and data quality. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as D3.js, Handlebars.js, and jQuery, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy center and cookie consent banner but no explicit GDPR compliance statements or terms of service. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with moderate risk, suitable for its business purpose.

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 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 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 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 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

Dotmetrics operates in the technology sector, providing big data audience measurement services. Their business model revolves around collecting large-scale device event data and offering analytics and reporting to clients. The company targets businesses requiring audience insights, including media and advertising sectors. Their customer base spans multiple countries, indicating regional market penetration. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized company founded in 2012, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The company leverages partnerships with advertising and analytics platforms such as Google Tag Manager and their own adex network. The lack of explicit certifications or detailed business registrations limits deeper credibility insights but the domain age and consistent WHOIS data support legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration statuses prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and ad networks introduces potential tracking and privacy concerns, though cookie consent is implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced DNS security, header implementation, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance by explicitly stating compliance measures and updating privacy policy accordingly.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with libraries such as D3.js for data visualization and Handlebars.js for templating, supported by jQuery. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts from their own domain and trusted CDNs, indicating a modular and performant architecture. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by Amazon Registrar domain registration. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or backend platform was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and semantic HTML enhancements.
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.
