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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. 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

Raptive operates in the media sector, targeting creators, enterprises, and advertisers. Their business model revolves around providing end-to-end ad management and business growth solutions, leveraging technology and industry expertise. The company has a strong market position, ranked in the top 10 media companies, and maintains a broad network of influential independent media and publishing companies. Their partnerships and advocacy campaigns, such as the AI-focused 'Keep it Real' initiative, indicate active engagement in industry trends and creator support. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel via their dashboard and support portals, aligning with a professional enterprise approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism indicating GDPR awareness. The domain registration is stable and consistent with the business history, though DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced documentation and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Provide clear and direct contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to increase transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, utilizing popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and various analytics and tracking scripts including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The hosting infrastructure is likely AWS-based, as indicated by the registrar and DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site employs modern web standards and security headers, contributing to a secure and SEO-friendly environment. Technical debt appears minimal, though opportunities exist to improve DNS security and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
