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

Marin Software is a technology company specializing in AI-driven performance marketing solutions. Recently acquired by Zax Capital, the company is focused on advancing its AI capabilities to provide forecasting, automation, and measurable marketing outcomes. The website reflects a mature SaaS business model targeting marketers and agencies with a suite of tools and managed services. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with integrations of major analytics and marketing platforms such as Google Analytics, Marketo, and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and published security policies are absent. The WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual and slightly reduces trust, but the overall digital presence and business information suggest legitimacy.

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 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. 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

Marin Software holds a competitive position in the digital marketing technology sector, leveraging AI to differentiate its offerings. The acquisition by Zax Capital signals growth and investment in innovation. The company targets enterprise and agency customers seeking advanced marketing automation and analytics. Its ecosystem includes partnerships with analytics and compliance providers, enhancing its market reach. The business model combines SaaS subscriptions with managed services, providing diversified revenue streams. The website content and navigation are professional and well-structured, supporting effective customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent framework, indicating attention to privacy and security compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS is a gap. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which may indicate privacy protection or registry issues, slightly impacting trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and enhancing HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security HTTP headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain transparency and trust.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by maintaining up-to-date cookie consent and data protection mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Webflow CMS platform, leveraging a variety of third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Marketo, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical stack is well integrated but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit privacy and security documentation to reduce technical debt and improve compliance posture.
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.
