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 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. 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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MainAd positions itself as a technology-driven performance marketing partner, leveraging advanced machine learning to optimize ad placements and conversions. Their business model centers on delivering bespoke strategies tailored to client needs, utilizing first-party data to drive measurable outcomes. The company maintains a global footprint with offices in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, indicating a broad market reach. Partnerships with industry leaders such as Google Cloud and IAB Italia enhance their credibility and technological capabilities. The client list includes major brands across retail, sports, and technology sectors, suggesting strong competitive advantages and a diversified revenue stream. The absence of explicit terms of service or incident response policies on the website may be an area for future development to strengthen governance and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. Integration of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the lack of several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a potential risk area. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response information limits transparency regarding security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in header implementation and formal security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and plugins including jQuery, Bootstrap, Isotope, and TweenMax, indicating a robust and interactive front-end. SEO is well supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and reCAPTCHA scripts. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design elements. The use of Google Cloud as a technology partner suggests scalable and reliable hosting infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers could further modernize the platform and reduce risk.
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.
