PromoteKit is a specialized SaaS company offering affiliate marketing software designed specifically for Stripe users. The platform provides comprehensive tools to launch, manage, and scale affiliate programs with features such as flexible tracking options, custom affiliate portals, advanced commission structures, fraud prevention, and real-time analytics. Positioned as a Stripe partner, PromoteKit targets modern SaaS companies seeking seamless integration and ease of use. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand image supported by user testimonials and trust badges, indicating a credible market presence. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with integrations for Google Analytics and Intercom for user engagement and analytics. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. However, some security best practices such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be improved to enhance compliance and security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Despite this, the overall security posture is good with no obvious vulnerabilities detected. The lack of WHOIS data and cookie consent are notable gaps that should be addressed. Overall, PromoteKit presents as a trustworthy and professional SaaS provider with a strong focus on affiliate marketing for Stripe. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, publishing security policies, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 affiliate marketing SaaS niche with a clear focus on Stripe integration, which differentiates it from generic affiliate platforms. Its business model is subscription-based with tiered pricing plans and usage-based fees aligned with affiliate revenue. The company leverages partnerships with Stripe and presence on Stripe marketplaces to enhance credibility and reach. The target customers are SaaS companies looking for easy-to-use affiliate solutions. The platform's competitive advantages include advanced commission options, fraud prevention, and a customizable affiliate portal. The presence of multiple user testimonials and third-party review badges indicates positive customer reception and growth potential. However, the absence of detailed company registration and physical contact information may limit trust for some enterprise clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information. Use of asynchronous loading for third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Intercom minimizes performance impact and potential security risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js framework with React, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis and Intercom for customer engagement. The site is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site does not appear to use a traditional CMS but rather a custom-built solution. There are no broken elements or errors detected in the HTML content. The technical implementation reflects a mature SaaS product with good user experience and performance characteristics.
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.
