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

FreeWheel operates as an enterprise-level advertising technology company specializing in providing direct connections between advertisers and streaming video inventory from leading publishers worldwide. Their business model focuses on removing intermediaries to maximize working media dollars for advertisers and offering comprehensive suites for both media buyers and sellers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive use of modern marketing and analytics technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for privacy compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust verification, but the overall site professionalism and compliance suggest a legitimate and trustworthy business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation and publishing formal security and incident response policies 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

3 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 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 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

FreeWheel holds a leading position in the media advertising technology sector, targeting advertisers and media sellers seeking efficient access to streaming video inventory. Their competitive advantage lies in simplifying the supply chain by eliminating middlemen, thereby increasing media spend efficiency. The company offers distinct product suites tailored for advertisers and publishers, indicating a dual-sided platform business model. Their marketing ecosystem integrates major analytics and advertising platforms, supporting extensive user tracking and retargeting capabilities. The website's content and social media presence reinforce their market credibility and brand consistency. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and direct contact phone numbers suggests a preference for digital-first engagement. Growth indicators include active content updates and podcast series, reflecting thought leadership and industry engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and integration of cookie consent tools compliant with GDPR. Security best practices such as asynchronous loading of tracking scripts and absence of exposed sensitive data are observed. However, the site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, and incident response contact information is not publicly listed, representing gaps in transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data unavailability raises minor concerns but is mitigated by the professional site appearance and compliance measures. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider creating and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce suspicion.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with room for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
