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

Pepperjam's Ascend Affiliate Platform is a technology-driven affiliate marketing platform designed to connect brands and publishers for performance-based marketing success. The platform offers end-to-end campaign tracking, reporting, and payment processing, targeting advertisers, publishers, influencers, and agencies. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence aligned with its parent company, Performance Horizon Group Limited, based in the United Kingdom. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including HubSpot CMS, Dojo Toolkit, and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a clear navigation structure. However, some technical improvements are recommended, such as implementing security headers and enhancing accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. The absence of visible security headers and lack of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact reduces the overall security posture. The missing WHOIS domain registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and footer information suggest a legitimate business affiliation. Overall, the website is professional, secure to a reasonable extent, and privacy compliant with clear policies linked. Strategic improvements in security practices and transparency would enhance trust and compliance further.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  3. 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

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

The business operates in the affiliate marketing technology sector, providing a platform that facilitates connections between brands and publishers globally. Its competitive advantage lies in its technology-driven approach and comprehensive service offerings including campaign tracking and payment processing. The target customers include advertisers, brands, publishers, influencers, and agencies seeking performance marketing solutions. The company is positioned as a medium-sized enterprise under the parent company Performance Horizon Group Limited, with a strong partnership ecosystem including Pepperjam. The website content and linked domains indicate a mature business with a focus on growth and market leadership in affiliate marketing technology.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS and modern analytics tools with asynchronous loading to minimize performance impact. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact information are gaps that could impact incident response and risk management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policy presence. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible on the site, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Add visible and verified contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve trust and communication.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy of the domain ownership.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance with evolving standards and regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS with Dojo Toolkit for JavaScript functionality and uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. However, the absence of security headers and limited visible hosting information suggest potential technical debt or missed security best practices. The site could benefit from improved accessibility compliance and enhanced security configurations to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
