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

GreenBook is a comprehensive online platform dedicated to market research, insights, and analytics. It serves as a resource hub offering a directory of over 1000 verified companies, thousands of articles, reports, podcasts, webinars, and global events. The platform targets market research professionals and organizations seeking trusted partners and industry knowledge. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted likely on Vercel, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Amplitude, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, providing an excellent user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query failure or privacy protection, slightly reducing trust but not undermining the site's legitimacy given its professional content and market presence. Overall, GreenBook is a high-quality, trustworthy platform with strong business credibility but could enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.

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 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
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.greenbook.org points to unregistered service dualstack.ecs-alb-production-1816069303.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

GreenBook holds a strong market position as a leading resource for market research and insights professionals. Its business model revolves around providing a trusted directory, expert content, industry reports, and events that generate value for both suppliers and buyers in the research ecosystem. The platform likely generates revenue through advertising, event registrations, sponsorships, and premium listings. Its extensive content and verified company listings indicate a mature and large-scale operation. The absence of explicit contact details and WHOIS transparency suggests a focus on privacy and controlled communication channels. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major analytics and marketing services, enhancing its data-driven approach to user engagement and business growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA v3. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection is a notable gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The extensive use of third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Enhancing these areas would improve the overall security maturity and trustworthiness of the platform.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide visible and dedicated contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and static generation for performance. Hosting appears to be on Vercel, a cloud platform optimized for Next.js applications. The site uses multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Amplitude, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a sophisticated approach to user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. Performance is fast with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent automated abuse. However, the lack of explicit CMS identification and missing security headers suggests some technical debt or areas for improvement in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable, performant, and user-friendly experience.
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.
