Refersion is a technology company specializing in affiliate marketing and tracking software designed for e-commerce businesses. Their platform facilitates brand ambassador, influencer, and affiliate marketing programs, offering tools for tracking, analytics, and program management. The company positions itself as an accessible and easy-to-use SaaS solution with integrations to popular e-commerce platforms, targeting brands and marketers seeking to grow their affiliate programs. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with clear messaging and a free trial offer to attract new customers. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as React and Gatsby, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed.

Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance 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

3 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 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 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

Refersion operates in the competitive affiliate marketing software market, leveraging a SaaS business model focused on e-commerce brands and marketers. Their key competitive advantages include ease of use, integrations with major e-commerce platforms, and a comprehensive feature set for managing affiliate and influencer programs. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and possibly transaction-based commissions. The company targets medium-sized businesses and growing brands seeking scalable affiliate marketing solutions. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media engagement and a clear free trial funnel to drive conversions. While no parent or subsidiary relationships were identified, the company maintains a consistent brand presence and professional content that supports credibility and market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust set of security headers including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and providing clear channels for security incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance trust signals by adding certifications or third-party security attestations.

The use of structured metadata and Open Graph tags supports SEO and social media sharing. Security headers are properly configured, and HTTPS is enforced site-wide. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. The site demonstrates good accessibility and SEO optimization practices. Hosting provider details were not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with low technical debt and good performance characteristics, supporting a positive user experience and operational reliability.
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.
