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

Pinterest is a globally recognized visual discovery and social media platform that enables users to find and share ideas such as recipes, home decor, and style inspiration. The Danish localized site, dk.pinterest.com, serves the Denmark market with content tailored in Danish language. The platform operates on a business model centered around advertising and e-commerce, leveraging user-generated content and visual search capabilities. Pinterest holds a strong market position as a leading technology and e-commerce company with enterprise scale and consistent branding. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, JavaScript, and WebAssembly, hosted primarily on Amazon AWS infrastructure. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive Content Security Policy, and bot protection via reCAPTCHA. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site integrates multiple trusted third-party services for advertising, analytics, and content delivery, maintaining good transparency and user tracking disclosures. No WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content accessibility, allowing full analysis. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences, with no adult or explicit content detected. Strategically, Pinterest should continue to monitor third-party dependencies for vulnerabilities, enhance security headers where possible, and maintain transparency in privacy and data protection practices. The absence of direct contact or incident response information suggests an opportunity to improve user trust and security communication. The domain WHOIS data for the subdomain is not publicly available, which is typical and not a concern given the parent domain's legitimacy.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 major player in the technology and e-commerce sectors, focusing on visual discovery and social media engagement. Its business model relies heavily on advertising revenue generated through user interactions and promoted content. The platform targets a broad audience interested in lifestyle, fashion, home decor, and culinary ideas. Pinterest's competitive advantage lies in its unique visual search capabilities and extensive user base. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with advertising networks and content delivery providers. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and geographic localization, such as the Danish site analyzed here. The company is publicly traded and operates at an enterprise scale with a global footprint.

Security posture

Pinterest demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong Content Security Policy, and integration of bot mitigation technologies like reCAPTCHA. The site does not expose sensitive information in its HTML or scripts. Security headers are well implemented, contributing to protection against common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, indicating potential room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR, reflecting compliance maturity. The absence of direct security contact channels may limit rapid incident reporting. Overall, the security posture is robust with minor areas for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  2. Add additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options if not already present to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  3. Maintain regular updates and audits of third-party libraries and SDKs to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear security incident contact information to facilitate timely reporting and resolution.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance with explicit data retention policies and user data management tools.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and JavaScript modules, with WebAssembly usage indicating advanced client-side processing. Hosting is primarily on Amazon AWS infrastructure, leveraging S3 buckets for media content delivery. The site employs multiple external services for fonts, analytics, advertising, and social media integration. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and deferred script loading. Accessibility and SEO best practices are observed through proper meta tags, language attributes, and responsive design. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to further enhance security headers and incident response mechanisms.
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.
