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

Revive Adserver is an open source ad serving system positioned as a popular free solution for advertisers, publishers, and developers. The website presents professional content focused on software distribution and community engagement, leveraging WordPress CMS with the Divi theme and Yoast SEO for optimization. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. The site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as contact and incident response information, which impacts its compliance and trustworthiness. Security posture is weak due to missing security headers and unclear SSL configuration. Overall, the website is functional and well-designed but requires improvements in security, compliance, and transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

4 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

The business operates in the technology sector, specifically providing an open source ad serving platform. Its business model centers on software distribution and community support rather than direct commercial sales. The target audience includes digital advertisers and publishers seeking customizable ad serving solutions. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, indicating a small but established entity founded around 2013. The lack of WHOIS data and contact information limits verification of business legitimacy and operational transparency. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low due to absence of security headers, no visible incident response or security policies, and missing privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms. The site uses HTTPS (implied by URL) but SSL configuration details are unknown. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of contact channels for security incidents and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicate limited readiness for incident handling. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is not demonstrated. These gaps pose risks to user privacy and organizational security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. Google Fonts and jQuery libraries are used for styling and interactivity. The site appears mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with no explicit hosting provider identified. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
