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

EepURL is a legacy URL shortening and tracking service developed as part of Mailchimp's marketing platform, specifically for Twitter integration. The service is no longer publicly available to protect domain reputation and ensure high deliverability for Mailchimp campaigns. The website content is minimal and informational, with no active user interaction or data collection. The domain is well-established, created in 2008, and maintained with registrar locks but lacks DNSSEC. The technical infrastructure is basic, relying on minimal JavaScript and hosted via Akamai's CDN network. Security posture is moderate with domain protections but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is low due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site serves as a static informational page within the Mailchimp ecosystem.

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. 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 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

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

The domain eepurl.com is a service brand under Mailchimp, targeting Mailchimp users who require URL shortening and tracking within their marketing campaigns. The business model is service integration rather than standalone public use. The market position is niche and legacy, as the service is no longer publicly accessible. The company benefits from Mailchimp's strong brand and infrastructure. There are no direct revenue streams from this site, and no public contact or support channels are provided. The partnership ecosystem includes Mailchimp and references to third-party blogs for URL shortener development. Growth indicators are minimal given the service's deprecated public status.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The domain is protected with registrar locks preventing unauthorized transfer, deletion, or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. The website lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided for security issues. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a static informational site but would require enhancements for any interactive or data-collecting services.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) on the web server.
  4. Provide clear contact information, including security and abuse contacts, to facilitate incident response.
  5. Consider updating the site to reflect current service status and remove legacy references to avoid user confusion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML5 with minimal JavaScript for UI interaction. The CSS is linked externally with reset and main stylesheets, and conditional IE styles are included. The favicon is hosted on the same domain. The hosting provider is likely Akamai, inferred from the authoritative nameservers. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. Performance is expected to be moderate due to CDN usage but no explicit performance optimizations or analytics scripts are present. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no ARIA roles or meta viewport tags detected in the provided HTML snippet. SEO optimization is minimal with only a title tag and no meta description or Open Graph tags. The site is static with no forms or data collection mechanisms.
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.
