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

ExoClick operates as a large-scale digital advertising platform specializing in serving geo-targeted ads through its ad network and programmatic exchange. The company targets advertisers and publishers seeking to monetize or promote at scale, offering services such as programmatic buying, email marketing ad formats, and a members area for enhanced campaign management. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and multi-language support, reflecting a well-established business since 2014. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and cookie consent tools, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and anti-clickjacking measures, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy, but the overall business credibility and online footprint suggest a trustworthy entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing explicit incident response contacts to 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

4 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. 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

ExoClick holds a strong market position as an innovative ad network serving billions of ads daily. Its business model revolves around connecting advertisers and publishers via programmatic and direct ad sales, with specialized offerings like email marketing and members-only areas to increase conversion rates. The company leverages educational resources through ExoClick Academy and maintains active engagement via social media and industry events. Revenue streams likely include ad placements, programmatic transactions, and premium services. The platform's technical infrastructure supports scalability and compliance, positioning ExoClick competitively in the digital advertising sector. Partnerships and related domains support a robust ecosystem, enhancing user education and support. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and event participation. Overall, ExoClick demonstrates a mature, scalable business with a focus on compliance and user engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security maturity. Anti-clickjacking scripts are present, but the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential areas for hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. While no critical vulnerabilities were identified, enhancing these areas would improve the security posture and reduce risk exposure. Compliance pages and guidelines indicate an organizational commitment to security and privacy, but operationalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure would elevate maturity. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from targeted improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of Yoast SEO for search optimization and OneTrust for cookie consent management, reflecting modern web standards. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, indicating a sophisticated data collection approach. The site uses responsive design techniques, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. The presence of anti-clickjacking scripts and cookie consent mechanisms demonstrates attention to security and privacy. However, the lack of explicit security headers and incident response mechanisms suggests technical debt in security hardening. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable platform but could benefit from enhanced security and performance tuning.
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.
