Risk levelMedium

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

emvoy is a Swiss-based newsletter advertising network that aggregates over 70 newsletters from more than 20 certified publishers to offer advertisers targeted In-Email Ads. The platform emphasizes precise targeting using first-party data and provides a brand-safe advertising environment. Technically, the website is built on Webflow and integrates modern tools such as Google Tag Manager, LiveChat, and Taboola for marketing and user engagement. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and some best practices but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, limiting transparency but not indicating suspicious activity. Overall, emvoy presents a professional and legitimate business with room to enhance privacy compliance and security posture.

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

8 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"

    • 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

    • 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

emvoy positions itself as a leader in the Swiss newsletter advertising market, leveraging partnerships with reputable media publishers to provide advertisers with efficient and targeted email advertising solutions. Its business model focuses on aggregating premium newsletters to maximize reach and brand safety. The company targets advertisers seeking precise audience targeting without cookie reliance, capitalizing on first-party data. The presence of multiple language versions indicates a focus on the Swiss market's linguistic diversity. The use of third-party marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to campaign optimization. However, the absence of explicit contact information and privacy documentation may impact trust for some clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of controlled script loading via Google Tag Manager. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and NIS2 regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response contact channels are not publicly available, which could delay response to security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and data protection officer contacts to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain secure forms/input handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts, Lottie animations, and Splide.js for sliders. It integrates third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Taboola, and LiveChat, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting is provided by Webflow, which offers reliable performance and HTTPS support. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility features and SEO optimization could be enhanced by adding structured data (JSON-LD) and more comprehensive meta tags. The absence of visible security headers and privacy documentation represents technical debt that should be addressed to reduce risk.
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.
