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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  4. 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

The company targets website owners and marketers seeking to enhance user engagement and conversion rates through targeted popup campaigns. Their competitive advantage lies in the breadth of popup templates, smart triggering events, and extensive platform integrations. Revenue streams are primarily subscription plans with tiered pricing. The presence of affiliate programs and partnerships with platforms like MailChimp and Zapier indicates a mature ecosystem. The company demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing trust and credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain protection statuses clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited, indicating basic domain security hygiene. However, no advanced security headers or explicit security policies were found. The absence of a published incident response plan or security contact channels suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Third-party scripts for analytics and chat are used extensively, which requires ongoing vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Yandex Metrika. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and videos. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility could be improved.
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.
