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

8 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 operates in the technology sector, focusing on SaaS affiliate marketing solutions integrated with Stripe. Its business model is subscription-based SaaS, with pricing tiers including free, pro, and enterprise plans. The company targets SaaS companies using Stripe, offering a streamlined affiliate program management experience. Its market position is bolstered by official Stripe partnership badges and presence in Stripe marketplaces. The platform's competitive advantages include ease of setup, advanced commission options, fraud detection, and a customizable affiliate portal. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem with Stripe and affiliate marketing channels. Growth indicators include positive user testimonials and active marketing via social media and third-party review sites. The company emphasizes user experience and customer support, branding itself as 'software with a soul.'

Security posture

PromoteKit demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices such as fraud detection mechanisms for self-referrals. However, the website lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy pages are published, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial; while a comprehensive privacy policy exists, cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust but is likely due to privacy protection. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider providing explicit terms of service to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Monitor WHOIS data and consider domain registration transparency to improve domain trustworthiness.

Notes

It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics for tracking and Intercom for customer support. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses CDN resources for scripts and images. Performance is fast with preloading of critical assets.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional SaaS offering with room for incremental enhancements.
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.
