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.

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

Linkfire's business model centers on providing marketing tools and analytics for the entertainment industry, particularly music and podcasts. Its SaaS platform enables users to create smart links that aggregate content across multiple streaming services and platforms, enhancing fan engagement and marketing effectiveness. The company benefits from strategic partnerships and a strong brand presence in the media technology sector. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and enterprise services. The website's integration with HubSpot and use of advanced tracking and consent tools indicate a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. The presence of investor relations and career pages suggests organizational maturity and growth orientation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The integration of OneTrust for cookie consent and Google Consent Mode reflects compliance with privacy laws. The use of ClickCease indicates proactive fraud prevention. However, the absence of a public security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contact limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security measures are strong but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet or exceed WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The use of Roboto font via Google Fonts and lazy loading images optimizes performance and user experience. Hosting is managed by HubSpot, ensuring reliable uptime and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO best practices are observed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema for organization details. The technical implementation is robust, supporting fast load times and smooth navigation, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is advised to mitigate potential 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.
