NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

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

5 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 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

  3. 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

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

Shareaholic operates a SaaS business model targeting marketers, publishers, and brands seeking to enhance content engagement and traffic. The platform integrates multiple marketing tools and analytics services, enabling users to acquire, engage, analyze, and monetize their audiences effectively. The company leverages partnerships such as the WordPress related posts plugin (YARPP) to extend its ecosystem. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on technology and digital marketing sectors. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for managed support channels via forms and support centers. The company’s market presence is reinforced by extensive customer base and media features, positioning it as a reputable player in the content marketing industry.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and integrates security-conscious third-party scripts. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, indicating potential for enhancement in HTTP security headers like CSP and HSTS. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but the lack of a cookie consent banner and explicit GDPR indicators suggests incomplete compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Drift chat, and New Relic for performance monitoring. Content is delivered via AWS Cloudfront CDN ensuring fast load times and global availability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is robust with asynchronous loading of scripts and performance optimizations. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce risk.
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.
