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

EcoSend is a SaaS email marketing platform dedicated to purpose-driven brands seeking sustainable growth without compromising their values. The company, Go Squared Ltd., based in Great Britain, launched the domain in 2022 and positions itself as a niche leader integrating climate impact into email marketing. The platform emphasizes authenticity, audience growth, and environmental responsibility, supported by a B Corp certification and a dedicated UK-based support team. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Analytics tools like GoSquared and Google Tag Manager are used for user tracking. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but improvements are needed in DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded, but should enhance privacy and security transparency to improve compliance and user trust.

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

4 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

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

EcoSend targets purpose-driven businesses looking for email marketing solutions that align with sustainability goals. Its business model is SaaS with integrated climate impact features, appealing to companies valuing social and environmental responsibility. The platform offers email marketing, inbox placement optimization, and audience growth services. The partnership with GoSquared for analytics and user management strengthens its ecosystem. Market positioning is focused on authenticity and impact, differentiating it from generic email marketing providers. The company is relatively new but backed by an established parent company, Go Squared Ltd. Growth indicators include a free trial offer and visible trust signals like B Corp certification. Strategic observations suggest expanding privacy and security policies to meet increasing regulatory demands and enhance market credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating good baseline security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, representing a gap in defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Forms and inputs appear secure but lack explicit security policy disclosures. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, limiting transparency in handling security events. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in DNS security, headers, and published policies. Addressing these gaps will reduce risk and improve compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or NIST.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the ecosend.io domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

EcoSend's website is built using Next.js, a modern React framework, and hosted on Vercel, providing fast and scalable infrastructure. The site uses GoSquared and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The HTML structure is well-formed with proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive design and accessible navigation. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or headless approach. Performance is fast due to modern hosting and optimized assets. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could expose the site to DNS attacks and clickjacking. The absence of privacy and security policies may also pose compliance risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and robust but should address security and privacy documentation gaps.
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.
