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

Lineup is a specialized software provider offering ERP and revenue management solutions tailored for the media and advertising industry. Their flagship product, Adpoint, integrates CRM, order management, finance, and analytics to streamline media sales processes and boost revenue. The company has a solid market presence with notable clients and significant ad revenue processed through their platform. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and incorporates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. However, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS support, which poses a significant security risk. While SPF and DMARC email protections are properly configured, the absence of HTTPS undermines user trust and data security. The company demonstrates good privacy compliance with GDPR-aligned cookie consent mechanisms and detailed cookie categorization. Overall, Lineup presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence but must urgently address its SSL/TLS deficiencies to improve security posture and user confidence.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Lineup operates in the media software sector, focusing on advertising sales and revenue management solutions. Their business model centers on providing enterprise-grade ERP software that consolidates multiple sales and finance functions into a single platform, targeting media companies and publishers. The company leverages partnerships and client success stories to strengthen market positioning. Their product suite includes core modules like CRM, analytics, order management, and finance, as well as additional offerings like Adpoint Plus and a Self-Service Suite. The presence of a community portal and support service via related domains indicates a mature customer engagement strategy. The company emphasizes innovation and industry expertise, with nearly half their team dedicated to software development. Their marketing approach includes content marketing, webinars, and case studies to educate and attract prospects.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate but with critical gaps. Email authentication is well implemented with valid SPF and DMARC policies enforcing quarantine and reporting. No subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were detected. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols expose users to potential interception and downgrade attacks. The absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling further weakens HTTPS security. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure statements are publicly available, which limits transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent is implemented with granular controls, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, while some best practices are followed, the missing HTTPS implementation is a major security concern that should be prioritized.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable legacy SSL/TLS versions to enhance encryption security.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with preload to enforce secure connections.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud/AWS DNS) and built on WordPress CMS with the Salient theme and WPBakery page builder. It uses a variety of JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Hotjar), marketing (HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight), and performance optimization (WP Rocket). The site has moderate load time (~8 seconds) and a large page size (~398 KB) with many resources (153). Mobile optimization and SEO are good, but accessibility is basic. The invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and risk. The site uses advanced cookie consent management with CookieYes, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
