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

Ezoic is a leading technology company specializing in data-driven ad monetization solutions for websites. Their platform integrates advanced AI-driven ad management, first-party data identity protocols, and direct advertiser connections to maximize digital revenue for web publishers. The company positions itself as a market leader with strong partnerships including Google Premier Partner status and integrations with major ad networks such as Amazon Ads and Google Ad Manager. Their services target digital content creators and web publishers seeking to optimize ad revenue through innovative models like rewarded ads and custom ad breaks. Technically, Ezoic employs a modern web infrastructure built on React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, with integrated analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Fathom Analytics, and Vercel Analytics. The website is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and a consent management platform, aligning with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong security headers and no visible vulnerabilities. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security culture. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain introduces a minor trust concern, though the overall brand presence and external trust signals mitigate this. Overall, Ezoic demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, and providing clearer direct contact channels 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

5 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 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

  3. 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

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

Ezoic operates in the technology sector, focusing on ad monetization for digital publishers. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating first-party data with AI-driven ad management to optimize revenue streams. The business model revolves around providing a SaaS platform that connects publishers with advertisers, leveraging data and identity protocols to increase ad value. Target customers include web publishers, content creators, and advertisers seeking direct audience engagement. Growth indicators include a large network of 9,000 sites generating revenue and over 107 million monthly pageviews. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare, enhancing market credibility. Testimonials and media features reinforce their market position as an innovator in ad technology.

Security posture

Ezoic's security posture is strong with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of a consent management platform for privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness. There is no evidence of a dedicated security team contact or security.txt file. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize clear contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact information and compliance measures.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
