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

Mad Mimi was a SaaS email marketing platform founded in 2006, offering HTML email newsletter creation, subscriber growth, and list management services. The website indicates that the service was retired as of August 30, 2024, with GoDaddy consolidating its email marketing offerings under GoDaddy Digital Marketing. The website content is minimal, primarily serving as a notice and redirect to the new GoDaddy service. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and is hosted via GoDaddy and Cloudfront CDN. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security headers were detected, indicating room for security improvements. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent banner but no visible privacy policy or terms of service on the homepage. No contact information or security incident response details are provided. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with GoDaddy ownership and shows no suspicious patterns. Overall, the site is functional but minimal, reflecting the retirement status of the service.

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 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

  3. 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

Mad Mimi operated in the technology sector as an email marketing SaaS provider targeting small to medium businesses and marketers. Its business model was subscription-based email marketing services. The retirement and transition to GoDaddy Digital Marketing suggest a strategic consolidation by the parent company. The website lacks detailed business contact information or certifications, limiting trust signals. The partnership with GoDaddy is clear and the domain registration aligns with this. The minimal content and lack of active service indicate the business is no longer operational under the Mad Mimi brand.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts reduces the security maturity level. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The cookie consent mechanism is present but lacks detailed GDPR compliance information. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  4. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs modern JavaScript, Google reCAPTCHA, and is hosted on GoDaddy infrastructure with Cloudfront CDN for asset delivery. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets. Mobile optimization is basic but present. Accessibility features are minimal but some ARIA and language attributes are set. The site lacks a CMS indication and appears custom-built or heavily customized. Technical debt is low given the minimal content, but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy compliance.
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.
