Risk levelMedium

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

Mate Affiliates operates as an affiliate marketing platform specializing in the iGaming vertical, including casino, esports, poker, and sports betting. The company positions itself as a fast-growing affiliate program offering competitive revenue share and hybrid commission models to attract affiliate marketers. The website is professionally designed using modern web technologies such as Webflow and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. It provides clear commission structures, multiple brand partnerships, and a contact form with GDPR consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, but lacks advanced security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for compliance and protection.

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. 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

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

The business targets affiliate marketers in the gambling and betting sectors, leveraging multiple premium brands to maximize affiliate earnings. Its business model is based on revenue sharing and CPA deals, with a focus on high commissions and fast payments. The presence of certifications such as AGD and active social media channels on LinkedIn and Telegram support its market credibility. The company appears to be medium-sized with a consistent branding strategy and a clear value proposition. However, the lack of publicly available company registration and contact details limits full business transparency. The affiliate ecosystem includes partner domains for affiliate login and registration, indicating a structured affiliate network.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling including user consent for data processing. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The absence of a cookie consent banner is a compliance gap under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure full GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate commitment to security and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Obtain and display verified WHOIS registration information or clarify domain registration status to improve business credibility and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed company contact information to improve user experience and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and animation libraries such as Waypoints and CounterUp. Hosting is provided via Webflow's CDN, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, but lacks advanced privacy controls such as cookie consent. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from additional security and privacy enhancements to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
