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

Admiral is a technology company specializing in SaaS solutions for digital publishers, focusing on visitor relationship management, adblock revenue recovery, subscription management, and privacy compliance. The company positions itself as a leading marketing automation platform for publishers, with a strong market presence evidenced by multiple industry recognitions and a broad customer base. The website is professionally designed, leveraging HubSpot CMS and integrating advanced marketing and analytics tools to deliver a seamless user experience. Privacy and consent management are well integrated, reflecting compliance with GDPR and CCPA regulations. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional web presence and business indicators. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies and verifying domain registration details to strengthen trust.

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.

Business context

Business profile

Admiral operates in the digital publishing technology sector, offering a comprehensive suite of tools that address critical publisher needs such as adblock detection and recovery, subscription monetization, and privacy compliance. Its business model is SaaS-based with performance incentives, targeting digital publishers seeking to optimize revenue streams and visitor engagement. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through integrated AI features, a unified platform approach, and strong customer testimonials. Its partnership ecosystem includes HubSpot and major advertising platforms, enhancing its market reach. Growth indicators include recognition on the Inc 5000 list for three consecutive years and a diverse portfolio of services. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and delivers high-quality content, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the publishing technology space.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and integrates a consent management platform compliant with IAB TCF 2.2 standards, indicating a mature approach to privacy and security. Security best practices such as suppression of tracking before consent and use of privacy banners are evident. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is good but could be improved by publishing detailed security documentation and incident response procedures. Overall, the security posture supports business operations effectively but should evolve to meet higher transparency standards expected by enterprise clients.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security controls and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance trust and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Continue to monitor and update consent management practices to maintain GDPR and CCPA compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as LazyLoad and Slick Carousel for performance and user experience enhancements. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, and Facebook Pixel indicates a sophisticated marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with deferred script loading and lazy loading of media assets. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the business goals effectively. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and provide more explicit hosting and infrastructure details for comprehensive risk assessment.
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.
