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

Admiral is a technology company specializing in marketing automation solutions tailored for digital publishers. Their platform focuses on maximizing revenue through adblock recovery, digital subscriptions, privacy consent management, and growth of email and social signups. The company positions itself as a leader in Visitor Relationship Management (VRM), serving thousands of publishers worldwide and recognized as a fast-growing solution in its market segment. The website content is professionally designed, well-structured, and targets digital media businesses seeking to optimize visitor engagement and monetization. Technically, the website leverages HubSpot CMS and integrates multiple modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and consent management platform aligned with GDPR and CCPA requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and integrates consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency, although the overall business presence and content quality suggest a legitimate and professional operation. Overall, Admiral's website reflects a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and technical implementation, but it would benefit from enhanced security disclosures and domain registration transparency 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Admiral operates in the technology sector, providing SaaS solutions for digital publishers to recover ad revenue lost to adblockers, manage subscriptions, and comply with privacy regulations. Their business model is subscription-based, focusing on marketing automation and visitor relationship management. The company targets digital media publishers globally, emphasizing ease of integration with a single tag and comprehensive visitor engagement tools. Their market position is strong, supported by customer testimonials, industry recognition such as Inc 5000 listings, and a broad partner ecosystem. The platform's integration with AI (GPT) for offer configuration indicates innovation and competitive advantage. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear calls to action and educational resources, supporting growth and customer acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and integration of a consent management platform compliant with GDPR and CCPA. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating a gap in transparency and incident readiness. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but appears well-managed without visible vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in policy publication and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Improve domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and publicly accessible to enhance trust.
  5. Include direct company phone contact information to improve customer trust and accessibility.

  1. Website is fully accessible with rich content and no blocking detected.
  2. Strong focus on digital publishing marketing automation solutions.
  3. Use of HubSpot CMS and marketing tools indicates professional digital maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components and Vanilla LazyLoad for performance optimization. Google Tag Manager is used extensively for analytics and marketing tag management, integrating Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, and Facebook Pixel for tracking and retargeting. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization schema. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA roles and alt attributes present but could be enhanced. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated but would benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
