Metricool is a well-established SaaS company founded in 2015 that provides a comprehensive social media management platform used by over 2 million professionals, agencies, and brands worldwide. The platform offers a wide range of services including analytics, content scheduling, competitor analysis, advertising management, and AI-powered social media assistance. The company has strong market positioning supported by partnerships with major platforms such as Google, Meta, X (Twitter), and Pinterest. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a seamless user experience with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to social media marketers. From a technical perspective, Metricool's website is built on WordPress and leverages modern technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Iubenda for cookie compliance. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, ensuring broad reach and usability. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, domain locking status codes, and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published, indicating areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, Metricool presents a low-risk profile with a mature digital presence, strong business credibility, and good security hygiene. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further enhance trust and security readiness.

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 operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting social media marketing professionals and agencies with a SaaS business model. The company benefits from a large user base and strategic partnerships with leading social media platforms, which strengthens its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans and premium features. The company emphasizes ease of use, automation, and unification of social media tools, appealing to a broad audience from individual professionals to large agencies. Growth indicators include continuous product updates, AI integration, and educational resources such as tutorials and masterclasses. The partnership ecosystem includes Google, Meta, X, and Pinterest, enhancing credibility and market reach. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages user testimonials and partner logos as trust signals.

Security posture

Metricool demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. The use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN services adds a layer of security and performance. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of DNSSEC, published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and proactive security management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

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.
