The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and incorporates modern web technologies including WordPress, Elementor, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy policies.

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

4 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. 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

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

Intent IQ operates in the technology sector focusing on advertising technology with a niche in cookieless audience activation and bid enhancement. Their business model revolves around licensing patented technology and providing services that increase ad targeting accuracy and publisher revenue without compromising user privacy. The company has established partnerships and a broad reach across 80,000+ digital properties. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive patent portfolio and privacy-centric approach, appealing to privacy-conscious advertisers and publishers. The presence of partner login portals indicates a structured ecosystem supporting multiple stakeholder types. Growth indicators include recent content updates and active marketing via video and social media channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. GDPR compliance is actively managed through cookie consent banners and detailed privacy policies. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency and trust in case of security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional security controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and CreateJS for interactive content. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are implemented using Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site loads external resources from trusted domains and uses Google Adsense for advertising. Performance is moderate with some heavy images and animations but overall responsive design is good. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not disclosed. There is an opportunity to optimize security headers and accessibility features further to reduce technical risks.
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.
