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

Gauges is a technology company offering real-time web analytics and marketing attribution tools primarily targeting web businesses and marketers. Their SaaS platform emphasizes ease of use, live traffic visualization, and team collaboration features. The website is built on WordPress with modern analytics and marketing integrations such as Segment, Intercom, Google Analytics, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies suggests gaps in compliance and transparency. Security posture appears moderate with no evident security headers or policies, and no incident response contacts are provided. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve 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 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 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

Gauges positions itself as a user-friendly, real-time analytics and marketing attribution solution in the technology sector. Its business model is SaaS-based, focusing on providing actionable web traffic insights and marketing ROI improvements. The target audience includes web businesses and marketing professionals seeking live data and easy sharing capabilities. The company leverages third-party marketing and analytics tools to enhance its offerings. While the website content is professional and consistent, the lack of detailed business contact information and compliance documentation may limit credibility with more regulated or privacy-conscious customers.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates several third-party analytics and marketing scripts, which introduces moderate tracking and data collection. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. The security posture is moderate but requires improvements in transparency, policy publication, and security best practices to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user responsibilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security@ email addresses.
  4. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure secure data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and Visual Composer page builder, indicating a standard CMS infrastructure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Segment, Intercom, Google Analytics, and Hotjar, reflecting a modern and data-driven approach. The site appears moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and security configurations to improve overall robustness and compliance.
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.
