Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted likely on Vercel, and integrates advanced consent management and bot protection tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure.

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, offering subscription and engagement tools tailored for digital publishers. Its business model is SaaS-based, focusing on paywalls, registration walls, and engagement widgets to convert visitors into subscribers and retain them. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its dynamic journey builder and consultancy services, enabling rapid deployment and continuous experimentation. The presence of major media clients and a Trustpilot widget indicates strong market acceptance and trust. Poool’s partnership with The Audiencers and integration with various platforms enhance its ecosystem. The company targets digital media publishers globally, emphasizing autonomy, speed, and results. Growth indicators include a broad client base and continuous product evolution. Strategic observations suggest Poool is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing trend toward subscription-based digital content monetization.

Security posture

Poool’s website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse, and a comprehensive consent management system via Didomi, ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit presence of security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options was not confirmed and should be audited. The lack of a published security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is a minor gap. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good, with room for improvement in formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure guidelines and contact information.
  3. Consider adding explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no known vulnerabilities are present.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing more detailed business contact information, including verified company emails and phone numbers.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, indicating a server-side rendered React application optimized for performance and SEO. Hosting appears to be on Vercel, a platform known for fast global CDN delivery.

Consent management is handled by Didomi, a recognized privacy compliance platform. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations.

The technical stack reflects a modern, scalable, and maintainable infrastructure suitable for SaaS platforms targeting digital publishers.
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.
