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

SAP Emarsys is a leading enterprise-level provider of AI-powered omnichannel customer engagement and marketing automation solutions. Positioned as a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader, it offers a comprehensive platform that enables marketers to deliver personalized, data-driven campaigns across multiple channels. The company operates under the SAP umbrella, leveraging a strong brand and partner ecosystem to maintain a competitive market position. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content, multi-language support, and integration of advanced marketing technologies. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS protocols on the main domain represents a significant security risk that could undermine user trust and data protection efforts. While email authentication mechanisms like SPF and DMARC are properly configured, the lack of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption indicates room for improvement in transport security. The site employs numerous analytics and tracking tools, suggesting extensive user data collection, but also includes cookie consent mechanisms aligning with GDPR compliance. Overall, SAP Emarsys demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to enhance security posture and maintain 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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

    • 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

SAP Emarsys targets enterprise marketers seeking AI-driven personalization and omnichannel marketing capabilities. Its business model is SaaS-based, focusing on delivering scalable marketing automation and customer loyalty solutions. The company benefits from SAP's global reach and brand recognition, positioning itself as a leader in the marketing technology sector. The platform integrates with various technology partners and supports multiple industries including retail and e-commerce. Customer success stories and industry recognitions like Gartner and IDC reports reinforce its market credibility. The website's multi-language support and comprehensive resource library indicate a global and diverse customer base. The extensive use of marketing and analytics tools reflects a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture shows strengths in email authentication with valid SPF and a strict DMARC policy set to reject, including reporting to abuse-report@emarsys.com. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of TLS protocols on the main domain is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. The site does not implement HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption, which are best practices for HTTPS security and performance. No explicit security policy or security.txt file was found, limiting transparency around vulnerability disclosure and incident response. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy indicates compliance awareness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires immediate attention to transport layer security to protect user data and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols on the main domain.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response information.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and policies to align with industry best practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for optimization. It uses a broad set of marketing and analytics technologies including Marketo, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Clearbit, Dreamdata, and Drift. Hosting is on Amazon AWS infrastructure. Performance is slow with a large page size (~2.9MB) and high load time (~17.7 seconds), indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good with responsive images and multi-language support via WPML. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is excellent with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is mature but requires modernization in SSL/TLS configuration and performance tuning to reduce latency and improve user experience.
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.
