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

Pinterest is a globally recognized technology company specializing in visual discovery and social media services. The website pinterest.at serves the Austrian market, providing localized content and user experience. The platform enables users to discover and share ideas through images and pins, targeting a broad audience interested in lifestyle, recipes, fashion, and more. The business operates at an enterprise scale with a strong market position as a leading visual discovery engine. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React and JavaScript modules, hosted on a robust infrastructure likely supported by Cloudflare. The site demonstrates good performance and accessibility, though the load time is relatively high, indicating potential optimization opportunities. The presence of extensive third-party integrations for advertising, analytics, and user engagement reflects a mature digital ecosystem. From a security perspective, pinterest.at enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate covering multiple related domains. Security headers such as SPF and DMARC are properly configured, with a strict DMARC policy set to reject unauthorized emails, enhancing email security. Content Security Policy is implemented with reporting, and OCSP stapling is enabled, indicating a strong security posture. However, HSTS is not enabled, which is recommended for further hardening. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with many best practices, though explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service pages were not detected in the provided content. The absence of direct contact information and security policy details suggests these may be located elsewhere or require further inspection. The domain registration and DNS configurations align with legitimate enterprise operations, supporting high trustworthiness.

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.

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

Pinterest operates as a technology company in the social media and visual discovery sector, targeting a global user base with localized versions such as pinterest.at for Austria. Its business model centers on user-generated content, advertising revenue, and partnerships with advertisers and e-commerce platforms. The company leverages a vast ecosystem of partner domains and third-party services to deliver content and monetize traffic. The market position is strong, with Pinterest recognized as a leader in its niche. The platform's extensive use of modern technologies and integrations indicates a focus on scalability and user engagement. Strategic partnerships with advertising networks and content delivery networks enhance its operational capabilities.

Security posture

The security posture of pinterest.at is robust, featuring mandatory HTTPS with a comprehensive SSL certificate covering numerous related domains. Email security is enforced through valid SPF and a strict DMARC policy with reject, reducing phishing risks. The site implements a detailed Content Security Policy with reporting mechanisms and supports OCSP stapling for certificate validation. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of HSTS implementation is a minor gap that could be addressed to prevent protocol downgrade attacks. The absence of explicit security policy or incident response information in the visible content suggests these may be managed internally or located on other pages.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enhance transport layer security.
  2. Update and correct CAA DNS records to valid entries to restrict certificate issuance.
  3. Publish explicit privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of service pages accessible from the main site for compliance and transparency.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve trust and facilitate communication.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience, especially on mobile devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and modern JavaScript modules, indicating a contemporary front-end framework. It uses a complex Content Security Policy and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and user engagement. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing DNS and security services. The SSL configuration is strong with support for TLS 1.2 and 1.3 and OCSP stapling enabled. However, no cipher suite details were provided, and HSTS is not enabled. The page size is large with a high number of resources, contributing to slower load times. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are present, including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding.
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.
