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

3 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

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 holds a leading position in the visual discovery and social media market, competing with other content platforms by focusing on inspiration and idea sharing. Its business model centers on advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with major ad networks such as Amazon Ads and Facebook. The platform targets a general audience interested in lifestyle, fashion, cooking, and home improvement. Pinterest's ecosystem includes integrations with multiple service providers for analytics, marketing, and security, reflecting a sophisticated operational approach. The company is large and well-established, with a consistent brand presence and strong market recognition. Growth indicators include continuous technological enhancements and regional localization efforts. Strategic partnerships enhance its advertising capabilities and user engagement metrics.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity, employing HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configurations and multiple security headers such as Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Arkose Labs indicates proactive measures against automated abuse and fraud. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the analyzed content. However, public documentation for incident response and security frameworks is not explicitly found, suggesting an area for potential improvement. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection best practices. Overall, Pinterest's security posture is robust, minimizing risks related to data breaches and unauthorized access.

Recommendations

  1. Publish detailed incident response and security framework documentation to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance visibility of direct contact information for security and privacy inquiries to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Continue to monitor and optimize privacy compliance as regulations evolve, especially in international markets.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern tech stack centered around React and ES Modules, ensuring modularity and performance. It uses web fonts and polyfills to support a wide range of browsers and devices, contributing to excellent mobile optimization and accessibility. The presence of multiple third-party integrations for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention reflects a complex but well-managed infrastructure. Performance is fast, supported by efficient resource loading and caching strategies. SEO is well addressed through proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical links. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management approach. Hosting details are not directly visible but likely involve scalable cloud infrastructure given the global reach and performance characteristics.
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.
