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 related to recipes, home decor, fashion, and lifestyle. The Spanish localized site, es.pinterest.com, maintains consistent branding and content quality aligned with the parent company. The platform operates primarily on an advertising-based business model with integrated e-commerce features, targeting a broad audience interested in creative inspiration. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, modular JavaScript, and Amazon AWS infrastructure for media delivery. It demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced, a comprehensive Content Security Policy, and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies reflecting GDPR adherence. The security posture is mature, with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is room for improvement in publishing explicit vulnerability disclosure and incident response policies. The WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, which is typical for subdomains, and does not detract from the legitimacy of the site. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with strong trust indicators. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security incident response, maintaining up-to-date third-party libraries, and continuing to monitor and improve privacy compliance as regulations evolve.

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, leveraging user-generated content and targeted advertising to generate revenue. Its competitive advantage lies in its unique visual search capabilities and integration with e-commerce. The business model focuses on monetizing user engagement through advertising and partnerships. The target customer segments include lifestyle enthusiasts, DIY hobbyists, and consumers seeking inspiration. Growth indicators include extensive global reach and continuous platform enhancements. The partnership ecosystem includes major advertising networks and cloud service providers. Operationally, Pinterest demonstrates strong digital maturity and brand consistency.

Security posture

Pinterest exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, advanced content security policies, and bot mitigation strategies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of publicly available incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests an area for improvement. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and user communication regarding security practices. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and user trust effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and user confidence.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance security headers by adding HSTS and X-Frame-Options if not already implemented.
  5. Continue to monitor privacy compliance and update policies in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing React for frontend rendering and Amazon AWS for hosting and media delivery. The use of modular JavaScript and web fonts optimizes performance and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting on AWS provides scalability and reliability. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for ongoing maintenance of third-party dependencies and continuous performance monitoring.
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.
