GO ADOPT, LLC operates the AdOpt platform, a comprehensive cookie consent management solution designed to help websites comply with over 40 international privacy regulations including GDPR, LGPD, and CCPA. Positioned as a leading Consent Management Platform (CMP), AdOpt serves over 40,000 companies globally and is recognized for its ease of use, robust features, and excellent customer support. The platform offers tiered subscription plans catering to different business sizes and needs, emphasizing quick setup, multi-regulation compliance, and user-friendly customization. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, and integrates with popular marketing and scheduling tools like HubSpot and Calendly. While the SSL certificate is valid and no major vulnerabilities are detected, the absence of HSTS and certain security headers indicates room for improvement in security hardening. The platform demonstrates good performance and accessibility, with a strong focus on privacy compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, AdOpt maintains a solid posture with no known SSL vulnerabilities and no subdomain takeover risks. However, the lack of explicit security and incident response policies, as well as missing security.txt files, suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and readiness. Customer testimonials reflect high satisfaction, reinforcing the platform's reliability and effectiveness in managing cookie consent and privacy compliance. Overall, AdOpt presents a mature, well-positioned CMP solution with strong market presence and technical foundation. Strategic enhancements in security policies and headers, along with continued focus on compliance updates, will further strengthen its market leadership and trustworthiness.

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 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 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 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

AdOpt is positioned as an essential technology provider in the privacy compliance sector, targeting digital businesses requiring cookie consent management. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive multi-regulation support, ease of implementation, and humanized customer support. The SaaS business model with tiered plans enables scalability from small websites to large enterprises. The platform's integration with major marketing and scheduling tools enhances its ecosystem connectivity. High customer ratings and G2 recognition indicate strong market acceptance and trust. The company operates from the United States with a medium-sized business profile, founded in 2020. Its focus on privacy by design and continuous regulatory updates aligns with growing global data protection demands, positioning it well for sustained growth and expansion.

Security posture

AdOpt demonstrates a good security maturity level with a valid SSL certificate and no detected critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE. The absence of DNSSEC and HSTS reduces DNS and transport layer security robustness. No explicit security or incident response policies were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance and transparency. The platform manages consent data securely using cookies and local storage with 60-day retention, aligning with privacy best practices. Customer reviews highlight trust and security as key strengths. However, the lack of a security.txt file and limited security headers suggest areas for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and defense-in-depth. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Develop and publish formal security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React frameworks, indicating a modern, server-side rendered React application. Hosting is provided by Cloudflare, leveraging its CDN and security features. The site integrates with HubSpot for marketing and Calendly for scheduling, enhancing user engagement and lead management. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (88666 ms) with a large page size (~914 KB) and many resources (294), suggesting optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with SEO practices evident through comprehensive metadata and Open Graph tags. The SSL certificate is valid but not yet active, and no weak or vulnerable cipher suites are detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from 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.
