iCrossing is a global marketing and technology partner specializing in AI-driven growth, marketing, and technology solutions for enterprise brands. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including AI discoverability, growth and acquisition, experience and conversion, data intelligence, performance operations, and marketing technology. Backed by the Hearst parent company, iCrossing positions itself as a leader in connected marketing and technology with over 28 years of experience and multiple industry recognitions. Technically, the website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and HubSpot's marketing automation tools. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, fast performance, and good SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security headers could be further verified. The security evaluation shows no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the strong branding, parent company association, and professional content mitigate concerns. Overall, iCrossing presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with robust marketing and technology capabilities. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration details, enhancing transparency with terms of service and incident response policies, and confirming security headers to further strengthen security posture.

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. 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

  2. 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
    • 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

iCrossing operates in the technology and marketing sector, targeting enterprise clients seeking AI-powered growth and marketing solutions. Their business model centers on integrated service offerings that combine strategy, media, experience, engineering, data, and AI. The company benefits from a strong market position supported by industry recognitions such as Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership and awards from Forrester, Drum, Webby, and Search Awards. Partnerships and parent company affiliation with Hearst enhance credibility and market reach. The company emphasizes connected growth solutions addressing demand generation, conversion optimization, and scalable performance through data intelligence and AI. Their client portfolio includes major global brands, reflecting a mature and enterprise-scale operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly found in the provided data and should be verified. The absence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies is a gap in transparency and security readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing security policies and confirming all recommended headers are implemented.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish domain registration details to resolve WHOIS data inconsistencies.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  3. Confirm and enforce security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish terms of service to complete legal and compliance documentation.
  5. Maintain and enhance privacy compliance with ongoing monitoring of cookie and data practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and HubSpot's marketing and analytics tools. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with fast loading times and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses custom fonts (Inter, Roboto, Montserrat) and interactive elements like slick sliders for logos. The technical infrastructure is robust, leveraging HubSpot's hosting and security features. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and expand transparency around security policies.
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.
