Dstillery is an established enterprise-level AI-driven ad targeting company specializing in custom audience solutions for brands and marketers. Founded in 2013, it holds a strong market position supported by multiple industry awards and patents. The company offers a suite of AI-powered products including custom AI audiences, ID-free behavioral targeting, and CTV solutions, targeting programmatic advertising channels. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to its B2B audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and performance optimizations including Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and Google Tag Manager integration. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring robust infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with cookie consent implemented through OneTrust, reflecting attention to privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices observed, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly documented.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Dstillery operates in the competitive AI and AdTech sector, focusing on data-driven audience targeting solutions for enterprise clients. Its competitive advantage lies in patented AI technologies such as ID-free targeting and Audience Brief Genius, enabling cookieless and privacy-conscious advertising. The company targets large brands and agencies, evidenced by its client logos and claims of working with 85% of Fortune 100 companies. Revenue streams likely include data licensing, audience activation services, and platform access fees. Strategic partnerships with platforms like The Trade Desk and use of Google Ads indicate a broad ecosystem integration. The company demonstrates growth through continuous innovation, patent awards, and content marketing via blogs and video series. Its operational model is B2B SaaS with a strong emphasis on AI and privacy compliance.

Security posture

Dstillery's website security posture is good, with HTTPS enforced and use of security plugins to mitigate common WordPress vulnerabilities such as user enumeration. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable OneTrust solution, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly implemented, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is published, limiting transparency. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is appropriate for an enterprise website but could be improved by adopting additional security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Add a publicly accessible security policy and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to data processing.

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.
