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

EepURL is a legacy URL shortening service developed as part of Mailchimp's marketing platform, specifically for Twitter integration. The service is no longer publicly available but remains functional within Mailchimp's app for existing URLs. The website content is minimal and informational, focusing on explaining the service's status and providing a link to an alternative URL shortener. The domain is well maintained with a reputable registrar and domain protection status, indicating legitimacy and operational continuity within Mailchimp's ecosystem. Technically, the website uses basic HTML and JavaScript with no advanced frameworks or CMS detected. Hosting is likely via Akamai CDN based on nameservers, supporting moderate performance and availability. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced security. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but it lacks published privacy, cookie, or security policies, which reduces compliance posture. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. The domain registration details are consistent with a legitimate business service, with strong registrar-level protections but missing DNSSEC. Overall, the website is safe and trustworthy but basic in content and security features. Strategic improvements include publishing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and providing contact or incident response information to enhance compliance and 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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

EepURL operates as a specialized service within Mailchimp's marketing platform, targeting users who require trackable URL shortening integrated with email and social media campaigns. Its niche positioning leverages Mailchimp's large customer base, providing value-added functionality. The business model is SaaS-based, embedded within Mailchimp's broader marketing automation offerings. The service is no longer publicly accessible, indicating a strategic decision to protect domain reputation and deliverability for Mailchimp customers. The domain's long registration history and registrar protections reflect a mature and stable operation. The lack of public contact or policy documents suggests the service is maintained as a backend feature rather than a standalone product. No direct revenue streams or partnerships are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The security posture of the EepURL website is moderate. The domain is registered with strong registrar-level protections (clientDeleteProhibited, clientTransferProhibited, clientUpdateProhibited), which prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a missed opportunity to secure DNS integrity. The website lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are best practices to mitigate common web attacks. No HTTPS configuration details are provided in the HTML content, but given the domain and service nature, HTTPS is likely enforced. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance gap. No incident response or security contact information is available, limiting transparency and responsiveness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to the website responses.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update the website and domain security configurations to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and minimal JavaScript, indicating low technical complexity. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, inferred from the authoritative nameservers, which supports good availability and performance. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features, with only basic meta tags and conditional IE CSS. No analytics or tracking technologies are embedded, suggesting minimal data collection. The site is not mobile-optimized beyond basic CSS resets. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security best practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
