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

Marin Software Inc. operates the domain marinsm.com, primarily serving as a tracker landing page for marketing and advertising software solutions. The company has been established since 2007 and positions itself as a provider of marketing tracking and analytics services targeting digital marketers and advertisers. The website content is minimal, focusing on redirecting users to the main corporate site and providing a link to the privacy policy. Technical infrastructure appears basic, with hosting likely on Amazon AWS as inferred from DNS servers. The site lacks modern web technologies, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, indicating a low level of digital maturity for this particular domain. From a security perspective, the domain benefits from registrar-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and related EPP locks, enhancing domain stability and preventing unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers, as well as no visible HTTPS enforcement details, highlight areas for improvement. No advanced security policies, incident response contacts, or certifications are evident on the site. Privacy compliance is limited to a basic privacy policy link, with no cookie consent mechanisms or terms of service present. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile due to minimal content and limited security controls. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business identity. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, improving mobile and accessibility features, and enhancing privacy compliance with cookie policies and terms of service. These improvements would strengthen trust, security posture, and user experience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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. 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

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

Marin Software Inc. operates in the technology sector, focusing on marketing analytics and tracking software delivered as SaaS. The company has an established market presence since 2007 and targets digital marketing professionals. The business model revolves around providing tools for campaign management and performance tracking. The website analyzed is a minimal landing page, likely a subdomain for tracking purposes, with limited direct business information. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are linked from this domain. Revenue streams likely derive from software subscriptions and marketing services. The lack of extensive content or marketing tools on this domain suggests it is a supporting asset rather than a primary business front. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not discernible from the provided data.

Security posture

The security posture of the marinsm.com domain is basic. Domain registration includes strong EPP status locks, which protect against unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS are detected, which are standard best practices to mitigate common web attacks. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL configuration details, which is critical for secure communications. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is minimal, with only a basic privacy policy linked and no cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain shows moderate security maturity but requires enhancements to meet modern security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with a valid SSL certificate.
  4. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a simple HTML page with inline CSS and minimal content, indicating low technical complexity. Hosting appears to be on Amazon AWS based on DNS servers. No CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks are detected. The site lacks SEO optimization, accessibility features, and mobile responsiveness. No analytics or advertising scripts are present, suggesting minimal tracking or marketing integrations. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates technical debt in security infrastructure. Performance is likely moderate given the simplicity but could be improved with modern best practices. Overall, the technical implementation is basic and could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
