0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Readpeak is a technology-driven native advertising platform focused on enabling marketers and agencies to create programmatic native advertising campaigns efficiently. The company positions itself as a leading player in the European market, offering access to premium publishers and leveraging machine learning for campaign optimization. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with WordPress CMS, advanced SEO, and integration of marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Intercom. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and sandboxed signup forms, though some HTTP security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, which slightly impacts overall trust. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, including client testimonials and case studies, supporting a high level of business credibility.

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

5 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Readpeak operates in the technology and media sectors, targeting marketers, agencies, brands, and publishers seeking native advertising solutions. Its business model is SaaS-based, offering programmatic native advertising with CPC pricing and direct access to premium publisher networks. The platform supports over 3000 clients and 250 agencies, indicating solid market penetration and growth. The company emphasizes transparency, control, and optimization through AI-powered tools and API access. Partnerships with well-known publishers and integration with popular marketing tools enhance its competitive advantage. The presence of detailed case studies and testimonials reflects a customer-centric approach and strong brand positioning in the native advertising space.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of sandboxed iframes for user registration, reducing risk of cross-site scripting. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. Tracking and analytics tools are used responsibly with consent mechanisms. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance WHOIS registration transparency or provide domain registration details on the website to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize security risks.

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.
