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

EasyAds is a Dutch online marketing bureau specializing in e-commerce growth through automation, marketing optimization, and integration with marketplaces and advertising channels. The company has a solid market position supported by recognized partnerships with Channable, Google, Microsoft, and Cookiebot, and has been operating since 2006. Their services include datafeed management, marketplace integrations, advertising channel management, and managed campaign services, targeting retailers and brands seeking scalable online growth. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and several plugins, hosted on WordPress.com's Atomic infrastructure. The site is multilingual and uses modern marketing and analytics tools, including Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight, with a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security issue. Security headers are partially implemented, but TLS protocols are disabled, and no DNSSEC or CAA records are configured. Contact information is available via email, phone, and contact forms, but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent security improvements to ensure trust and compliance.

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

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

EasyAds operates in the e-commerce sector, providing technical and marketing services to retailers and brands. Their business model focuses on service provision, including technical support, marketing automation tools, and managed services. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms like Channable, Google, and Microsoft to enhance its offerings. The target customers are medium-sized businesses looking to automate and optimize their online sales channels. The presence of multiple partner badges and positive client testimonials indicates a strong reputation and trust in the market. The company has a medium size and a long operational history, which supports its credibility. The multilingual website and integration with various marketplaces and advertising channels demonstrate a mature digital presence and a focus on international reach.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. While some security headers like HSTS are present, their effectiveness is limited without proper HTTPS support. The lack of DNSSEC and CAA records further reduces domain security. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The website uses modern analytics and marketing tools with consent mechanisms, but the overall security configuration requires significant improvement to meet industry best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable outdated versions.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Add DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent certificate misuse.
  5. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  6. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  7. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate risks.
  8. Enhance security headers with Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  9. Maintain transparency about data retention and processing practices in line with GDPR.
  10. Improve accessibility features and mobile optimization for better user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates multiple plugins for analytics (MonsterInsights), cookie consent (Cookiebot), multilingual support (Weglot), and marketing tools (Click to Chat for WhatsApp). Hosting is provided by WordPress.com's Atomic infrastructure, which offers CDN and caching capabilities. The site uses Bootstrap framework for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. Performance data is unavailable, but the site appears well-structured with SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the SSL configuration is lacking, with no valid certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which is a critical technical debt. The site uses Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight for tracking, with user consent denied for ad personalization and analytics storage, indicating privacy-conscious configuration. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
