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 first-party data and identity protocols to enable publishers to maximize ad revenue through advanced AI-driven ad management and direct advertiser connections. The company holds a strong market position with partnerships including Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare, and is recognized in major media outlets. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and employs multiple analytics and tracking tools while maintaining good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, enhancing incident response visibility, and maintaining WHOIS data accuracy.

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 and media sectors, targeting website owners and digital advertisers seeking to optimize ad revenue. Their business model focuses on providing an end-to-end ad monetization platform with AI optimization, first-party data integration, and direct ad sales support. The company leverages partnerships with major ad networks and technology providers to offer premium advertising opportunities and innovative revenue models like rewarded ads. Growth indicators include a large network of sites generating revenue and extensive monthly pageviews. The partnership ecosystem and media recognition reinforce their competitive advantage and market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The use of third-party scripts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Add dedicated security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The tech stack includes analytics tools like Google Tag Manager, Fathom Analytics, and Vercel Analytics, as well as affiliate tracking via Post Affiliate Pro. The site employs best practices in SEO, accessibility, and performance optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. The technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and robust digital presence, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is advised to mitigate security 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.
