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

FirstPromoter is a technology company specializing in affiliate marketing tools tailored for subscription-based businesses and SaaS companies. The website positions itself as a modern, reliable, and scalable affiliate tracking platform with seamless integrations to popular payment processors such as Stripe, Paddle, Recurly, Braintree, and Chargebee. The company has a strong market presence with over 7 years of experience, thousands of customers, and millions in revenue tracked monthly. The website features professional design, customer testimonials, and detailed case studies that reinforce its credibility and market position. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Nuxt.js, TailwindCSS, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as ProfitWell, Intercom, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, providing a high-quality user experience. However, there is a lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, which may impact compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. There is no evidence of security headers or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which suggests room for improvement in security posture and transparency. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or not registered as a standalone domain, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not negate the professional appearance and business legitimacy evident on the site. Overall, FirstPromoter presents a credible and professional affiliate marketing platform with strong technical implementation and business credibility. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security transparency, and domain registration verification are recommended to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

FirstPromoter operates in the affiliate marketing SaaS sector, targeting subscription-based and SaaS companies seeking to launch and scale affiliate and referral programs. Its competitive advantage lies in easy integration with major payment platforms and a user-friendly, customizable affiliate dashboard. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform usage. The company demonstrates growth through customer testimonials and case studies highlighting significant revenue generated via its platform. Partnerships with Stripe and other payment processors strengthen its ecosystem. The business model focuses on providing a comprehensive affiliate marketing solution that reduces operational overhead for clients. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy and security disclosures to meet evolving compliance standards and maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates potential vulnerabilities to common web attacks. There is no published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance indicators such as privacy and cookie policies are missing, which may pose GDPR and other regulatory compliance risks. The lack of contact information for security incidents further reduces preparedness. Overall, while the platform appears secure in basic terms, enhancements in security best practices and compliance documentation are necessary to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents and data protection officer information if applicable.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure consistency and improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies, primarily Nuxt.js and TailwindCSS, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. Integration of third-party analytics and marketing tools like ProfitWell, Intercom, and LinkedIn Insight indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. However, there is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Performance appears fast with optimized images and asynchronous script loading. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy compliance documentation, which could impact regulatory adherence and security posture.
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.
