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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Mailcoach operates in the technology sector with a focus on email marketing solutions tailored for developers and businesses seeking self-hosted or SaaS options. Its business model includes subscription-based pricing and self-hosted licenses. The company leverages its parent brand Spatie's reputation to build trust. The target market includes creators, startups, and EU businesses, with a competitive advantage in developer-friendliness and GDPR compliance. The presence of an affiliate program and integration with marketing tools like HubSpot and Google Analytics indicates a mature marketing strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, a strict Content-Security-Policy header, and no visible security vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR. However, there is no explicit security policy or vulnerability disclosure page, which could enhance transparency. The use of modern frameworks like Laravel and Livewire suggests up-to-date technology stacks, but the CSP allows 'unsafe-eval' and 'unsafe-inline' which could be reviewed for tightening. Overall, the security maturity is good with room for improvement in formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Review and tighten the Content-Security-Policy to minimize use of 'unsafe-eval' and 'unsafe-inline' directives.
  3. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Add explicit contact information for security incidents or data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Fathom Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data.

The technical implementation reflects a mature and well-maintained platform.
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.
