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 with a business model centered on ad revenue optimization and brand growth services. Their competitive advantage lies in combining technology with industry expertise to deliver superior RPMs and customized recommendations. The company leverages partnerships and exclusive sales channels to enhance revenue streams. Growth indicators include a large monthly audience reach and substantial direct payments to creators. The ecosystem includes related domains such as their dashboard portal and advocacy campaigns, indicating a broad operational footprint. Strategic observations highlight their focus on creator independence and AI advocacy, positioning them well in the evolving digital media landscape.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Raptive's website is good, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The presence of a consent management platform indicates compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options represent areas for improvement. Incident response and security policy documentation were not found on the website, suggesting potential gaps in transparency or public communication of security practices. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and user trust but could be enhanced with additional technical controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  3. Add security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy to improve browser security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted with Amazon Registrar and likely on AWS infrastructure, using WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for optimization. The tech stack includes jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and a consent management platform for privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility basics. The site uses advanced features like Lottie animations for enhanced user experience. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and improving security headers would modernize the security posture. The site is well-structured with rich metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data, supporting SEO and social sharing. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and supports the business goals effectively.
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.
