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

9 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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

PromoteKit occupies a niche in the affiliate marketing software market with a clear competitive advantage through its direct Stripe integration, appealing to SaaS companies reliant on Stripe payments. Its subscription-based SaaS model includes free and paid tiers, with pricing aligned to affiliate revenue generated. The company leverages partnerships with Stripe and review platforms like Capterra to build trust and market presence. User testimonials highlight ease of use and customer service quality. The business targets small to medium SaaS companies, focusing on growth and scalability of affiliate programs. The lack of visible physical address or phone contact suggests a primarily digital-first operation. Strategic partnerships and a focus on user experience position PromoteKit well for growth in the affiliate marketing software sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Use of asynchronous loading for third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Intercom reduces performance and security risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency, which is a critical security and trust factor. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Next.js and React, indicating a contemporary and scalable architecture. Performance optimizations such as asynchronous script loading and image preloading are implemented, contributing to fast load times and good user experience. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization and accessibility are strong, supporting a wide range of users. The lack of a CMS suggests a custom or headless approach, which can offer flexibility but requires ongoing maintenance. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site appears stable and performant. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for enhanced security headers and improved privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
