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

Esther Perel's website serves as a comprehensive platform for relationship education, offering a variety of resources including podcasts, courses, books, and professional training. The brand is well-established with a strong multimedia presence and a clear focus on relational intelligence and eroticism. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a seamless user experience with clear navigation and rich content. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and other marketing and analytics tools, ensuring robust tracking and user engagement capabilities. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and a published security policy could enhance trust further. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data slightly reduces trust but is likely due to privacy protection. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-positioned in its niche.

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. 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

  2. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 business operates in the education and media sectors, targeting individuals seeking relationship improvement and professionals in mental health fields. Revenue streams likely include course sales, event registrations, and merchandise such as card games and books. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with multiple subdomains dedicated to specialized services. The brand's competitive advantage lies in Esther Perel's reputation and the quality of content offered. Growth indicators include active podcast production, live events, and ongoing course offerings. The website's marketing ecosystem is sophisticated, utilizing multiple tracking and retargeting tools to optimize user acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is evident, with event tracking implemented for form submissions and e-commerce actions. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR indicators and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding more detailed business contact information such as phone numbers and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Klaviyo, and StackAdapt for marketing and analytics. The use of Splide.js and Finsweet attributes enhances UI/UX with sliders and CMS filtering. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN backed by Amazon CloudFront, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
