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

DTScout is a small technology company based in Israel specializing in audience discovery and data aggregation for marketers and publishers. Their platform aggregates large-scale audience data to enable targeted advertising and improved monetization for publishers. The website demonstrates a professional design with clear navigation and a strong emphasis on privacy compliance, including opt-out mechanisms and user data request forms. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates analytics and advertising tools like Google Analytics and AdRoll. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Security practices are moderate with room for improvement in headers and incident response transparency. Overall, the site is functional and business-focused but requires domain registration verification and enhanced security policies to improve credibility.

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. 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

  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 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';…

  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

DTScout operates in the technology and media sectors, providing data-driven marketing solutions primarily targeting marketers, DSPs, agencies, and publishers. Their business model revolves around aggregating and distributing audience data at scale, enabling personalized advertising and incremental revenue for publishers. The company maintains partnerships with recognized data and advertising technology firms, enhancing its ecosystem. The lack of explicit terms of service and missing WHOIS data are notable gaps. The company emphasizes privacy and compliance but currently does not serve the European Economic Area due to GDPR compliance considerations. The physical presence in Tel Aviv and partner ecosystem suggest a focused but small-scale operation with potential for growth.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes privacy opt-out features, indicating a baseline security posture. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published incident response or security policy. The site collects user data via forms but claims no PII collection and offers data export and deletion requests, aligning with privacy best practices. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing clear security policies, and establishing formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update domain registration to ensure WHOIS data is available and accurate.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish explicit terms of service and a security policy page to enhance transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file.
  5. Improve accessibility compliance and SEO optimization for better user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and integrates third-party analytics and advertising tools such as Google Analytics and AdRoll. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or hosting provider information. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and SEO structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags beyond basic meta tags. Technical debt appears low but security-related technical improvements are recommended.
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.
