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

Monitorank is a professional SEO tool focused on daily Google position tracking for websites and competitors. It offers a modular subscription model with API access and integration with Google Looker Studio, targeting SEO professionals, agencies, and businesses. The website demonstrates a solid market position with notable clients and partners, supported by testimonials and trusted payment methods. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies, is mobile optimized, and integrates live chat and video content to enhance user experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS and secure payment options, though improvements are needed in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, but the overall professional presentation and client references mitigate this risk. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing explicit cookie consent, publishing security policies, and verifying domain registration details.

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

7 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

Monitorank operates in the competitive SEO technology sector, providing comprehensive rank tracking and competitor analysis tools. Its business model is subscription-based with tiered pricing according to keywords tracked, supplemented by free trials and demos to attract users. The company has established partnerships with recognized brands and SEO agencies, enhancing its credibility and market reach. The presence of multi-language support and mobile applications indicates a focus on international and mobile users. The affiliate program and API offerings suggest diversified revenue streams and integration capabilities. Overall, Monitorank shows signs of a mature SaaS business with a clear target audience and growth potential.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure payment gateways, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Fonts, and embedded Vimeo video content. It integrates third-party services such as Tidio live chat and payment processors like Stripe and PayPal. Mobile optimization is good, supported by dedicated Android and Microsoft Store apps. SEO optimization is solid with proper meta tags and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional SaaS offering but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
