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

7 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Infolinks holds a strong market position as the third largest publisher marketplace, leveraging a vast network of publishing partners and a large user base. Their competitive advantage lies in their unique intent targeting technology and exclusive placements, simplifying media buying for advertisers. Revenue streams likely include ad placements, self-serve advertising via AdShop, and referral programs. The company targets digital publishers and advertisers seeking effective monetization and audience engagement solutions. Partnerships with major advertising agencies and certifications like IAB reinforce their industry standing. Growth indicators include extensive monthly ad views and a large active publisher base. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining technological innovation and enhancing privacy compliance to sustain market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Incident response and security policy information are absent, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is adequate for business operations but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Deploy a clear cookie consent banner and mechanism to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data unavailability to ensure domain registration legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern technology stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and social media SDKs. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and mobile-specific icons. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and semantic HTML elements. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous monitoring. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security through enhanced headers and cookie management.
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.
