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

Dstillery is an enterprise-level AI-driven ad targeting company specializing in custom audience data solutions for programmatic advertising. The company holds a strong market position, serving 85% of Fortune 100 companies and offering innovative products such as cookieless targeting (ID-free®), custom AI audiences, and connected TV solutions. Their business model focuses on leveraging AI and data science to empower brands to maximize customer data and reach target audiences effectively. The website demonstrates excellent content quality, professional design, and comprehensive privacy compliance, including GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and performance optimization plugins, integrating various marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager, Intercom, and OneTrust. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which critically impacts secure communications and user trust. Despite this, the site employs SPF and DMARC email protections and enforces HSTS headers, indicating some security best practices. Overall, while the business credibility and privacy compliance are strong, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS support poses a significant risk. Strategic improvements in SSL/TLS deployment and security configurations are essential to enhance the security posture and maintain trust. The site is fully accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, allowing comprehensive analysis.

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. 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';…

  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

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 technology sector, focusing on AI-powered audience targeting for advertising. Their competitive advantage lies in patented cookieless targeting technology and AI-driven audience modeling refreshed daily. The company targets large brands and marketers, evidenced by their client base including most Fortune 100 companies. Revenue streams likely include SaaS subscriptions, data services, and advertising activation fees. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major DSPs like The Trade Desk and marketing technology providers. Growth indicators include multiple industry awards, patents, and active content marketing through blogs, videos, and events. The company maintains a strong digital presence with consistent branding and professional content, supporting a high level of business credibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with critical gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols expose the site to risks such as data interception and loss of user trust. Email security is well managed with SPF and DMARC policies. HSTS is enabled, which is positive, but lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption reduces security and performance. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, though a vulnerability disclosure page exists. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture appears to prioritize privacy and compliance but needs urgent improvements in transport layer security to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to improve security.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature WordPress CMS platform with a well-structured theme and multiple optimization plugins such as WP Rocket and Yoast SEO Premium. It integrates modern marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, Intercom, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, providing DNS-level protection and performance benefits. Performance is currently slow with a load time of approximately 12.9 seconds and a large page size (~374 KB) with 103 resources, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, supported by WP Accessibility plugin and UserWay widget. Technical risks include outdated or missing SSL/TLS configurations and potential dependency on multiple external scripts which require monitoring for security and performance.
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.
