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

Metricool is a well-established social media management platform founded in 2015, serving over 2 million professionals, agencies, and brands globally. The company offers a comprehensive suite of tools for social media analytics, content scheduling, competitor analysis, ad management, and AI-powered assistance, positioning itself as a one-stop solution for digital marketing needs. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and multi-language support, targeting social media professionals and businesses of various sizes. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern technologies including Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare DNS, ensuring reliable performance and security. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks a clearly accessible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the domain registration and technical infrastructure support a trustworthy and credible business profile.

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

2 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 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

  • 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

Metricool holds a strong market position as a technology SaaS provider in the social media management sector, leveraging partnerships with major platforms like Google, Meta, X, and Pinterest. Its business model combines free and paid plans, appealing to a broad audience from individual professionals to large agencies. The company emphasizes ease of use, automation, and unified tools to save time and increase digital visibility. The presence of user testimonials and partner logos enhances trust. The company’s growth is supported by continuous product updates, educational resources, and AI integration, indicating a forward-looking strategy in a competitive market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized changes. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, adding resilience against DNS attacks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for improvement. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which could hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR requirements to some extent, but the lack of a detailed privacy policy reduces overall compliance maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently on the website.
  3. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting and DNS services are provided by GoDaddy and Cloudflare respectively, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with use of Litespeed Cache and preloading techniques. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and DNSSEC would reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
