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

Minty is an AI-powered shopping companion platform that helps users save money by discovering deals, coupons, and cashback offers. It operates via a website, browser extensions for Chrome and Safari, and mobile apps. The platform targets savvy online shoppers seeking to maximize savings through AI technology. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with a focus on responsive design and user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance documentation. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website itself appears professional and functional. Overall, Minty presents a solid e-commerce service with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. 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

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

Minty positions itself in the competitive e-commerce savings and cashback market, leveraging AI to differentiate its offerings. Its business model likely includes affiliate commissions and cashback incentives. The platform has a growing user base of over 200,000 shoppers and offers integrations with major retailers. The lack of public WHOIS data and contact information may impact trust among cautious users. The company appears focused on digital channels with browser extensions and mobile apps, indicating a tech-savvy target audience. Strategic partnerships or parent company affiliations are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses deferred and async loading of scripts to optimize performance and security. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures is provided, and no privacy or cookie policies are found, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. The use of proprietary tracking scripts suggests moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adding security headers, privacy documentation, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine rankings.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and optimized asset loading. It supports multiple platforms including web, Chrome extension, and iOS app. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses Typekit fonts and custom tracking scripts hosted on its own domains. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly found. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved accessibility and security header configurations. The absence of visible analytics services like Google Analytics suggests a focus on proprietary tracking solutions.
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.
