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

ExactMetrics is a well-established WordPress plugin company specializing in Google Analytics integration, serving over 1 million active users. Their product offers comprehensive analytics features including real-time stats, eCommerce tracking, affiliate link tracking, and GDPR/CCPA compliance. The company positions itself as a market leader in WordPress analytics plugins, backed by strong branding and customer testimonials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript and tracking technologies, optimized for performance and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response details are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trust but is common for software vendors. Overall, the site demonstrates professionalism, compliance, and technical maturity suitable for its target audience of WordPress site owners and agencies.

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

2 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ExactMetrics operates in the technology sector, focusing on analytics software for WordPress users. Their business model revolves around premium plugin sales and addons, targeting bloggers, eCommerce store owners, businesses, and agencies. The company benefits from a large user base and partnerships with well-known WordPress brands. Revenue streams likely include license fees and affiliate marketing. The ecosystem includes integrations with popular WordPress plugins and marketing tools, enhancing their market reach. Strategic observations highlight strong brand consistency, comprehensive feature offerings, and a focus on privacy compliance, positioning them competitively in the WordPress plugin market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR and CCPA. Tracking scripts are managed with opt-out capabilities. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is high but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and response procedures to build greater trust and compliance assurance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Consider appointing and listing a Data Protection Officer contact for GDPR compliance.
  5. Maintain WHOIS records transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to improve trust.

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.
