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

2 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Poool operates in the media and technology sectors, providing essential SaaS tools for subscription management and audience engagement. Their business model revolves around enabling publishers to convert visitors into subscribers through customizable paywalls and engagement strategies. The presence of major clients and testimonials indicates a solid market position and growth trajectory. Partnerships such as with The Audiencers enhance their ecosystem. The company targets digital publishers seeking to optimize revenue streams and audience loyalty. Their content marketing via blogs and newsletters supports thought leadership and customer education.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate bot traffic. Consent management is handled via Didomi, ensuring GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security measures are robust for a SaaS platform, but improvements in policy transparency are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance contact information availability with verified company emails and phone numbers.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and scalability. It uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation and Didomi for consent management, reflecting good privacy practices. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and performant user experience with minimal technical debt visible.
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.
