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

MailerStack is a specialized content website focused on providing email marketing insights, strategies, and tool reviews. Founded in 2018, it serves a niche audience of email marketers, small business owners, and digital marketing professionals seeking actionable advice to improve their email campaigns. The site positions itself as an authority in the email marketing space with a consistent brand presence and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Kadence theme and optimized with WP Rocket, delivering good performance and mobile responsiveness. Hosting is provided by WPX Hosting, inferred from the nameservers. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled, though there is room for improvement by adding security headers and enabling DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, but lacks an explicit cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is not explicitly provided, which may impact user trust. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy with minor gaps in security and compliance documentation.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

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

MailerStack operates as a content publishing and affiliate marketing business, monetizing through reviews and recommendations of email marketing tools and services. Its market positioning is that of a niche authority blog with a focus on email marketing, targeting marketers and small businesses. The business model relies on high-quality content, SEO optimization, and affiliate partnerships. The presence of social media links and structured data markup enhances its digital footprint. The company appears to be small-sized with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The domain age and registration data support a stable and legitimate operation. Strategic partnerships or related domains were not identified beyond the parent Blogging Wizard brand.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents potential areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact information suggests limited formal security governance. Privacy policies are present and GDPR compliance is indicated, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a content website but could be improved to meet higher standards and build greater user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add a clear terms of service page to define user rights and responsibilities.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve transparency.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact details to demonstrate security governance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

MailerStack is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Kadence theme, supported by plugins such as WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization, NovaShare for social sharing, and ThirstyAffiliates for affiliate link management. The site uses jQuery and loads fonts from Google Fonts. Hosting is inferred to be WPX Hosting based on nameservers. The website is well-structured with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and script deferring. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement cookie consent mechanisms to align with best practices.
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.
