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

ETARGET SE is a Slovakia-based advertising technology company founded in 2003, specializing in ad delivery services and operating an ad network platform primarily serving advertisers and publishers in Central Europe. The company is a Google Ads Certified External Vendor and a registered participant in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework, reflecting its commitment to industry standards and privacy compliance. The website content is focused on privacy and cookie policies, demonstrating transparency and adherence to GDPR requirements. Technically, the website uses basic HTML and CSS with custom fonts loaded from a subdomain. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Security practices include data retention limits, storage within the EU, and no collection of personally identifiable information, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly present. The security posture is solid with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but improvements could be made by enabling DNSSEC, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and enhancing incident response contact visibility. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear policies and opt-in/out mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy, with a good balance of business credibility and privacy focus. Strategically, ETARGET should focus on enhancing technical security measures and expanding transparency around incident response to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

ETARGET SE holds a stable market position as a mid-sized advertising technology provider in Slovakia and Central Europe. Its competitive advantages include Google Ads certification and membership in key industry bodies like IAB Slovakia. The business model centers on providing ad delivery and network services to advertisers and publishers, generating revenue through ad placements and network operations. The company targets digital advertisers and website/mobile publishers seeking ad serving solutions. Growth indicators include long domain age and adherence to evolving privacy regulations. The partnership ecosystem includes participation in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework, enhancing market credibility. Operationally, ETARGET maintains a focused service offering with clear privacy and data protection commitments.

Security posture

ETARGET demonstrates a mature security posture with strong data protection practices aligned with GDPR. The company limits data retention to 13 months, stores data within the EU, and avoids collecting personally identifiable or sensitive data. Security measures mentioned include firewalls and encryption, though technical details such as security headers and DNSSEC are lacking. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure contacts are provided, representing a gap in transparency. The absence of browser/device fingerprinting and impression-level data collection reduces privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears privacy-conscious but could benefit from formalized incident response and enhanced DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, using custom web fonts loaded from a subdomain. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimizations detected. The site is not fully mobile-optimized but is responsive to some extent. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Hosting and domain registration are stable with Register.com as registrar. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a technical risk. No security headers are detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement in security hardening.
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.
