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. 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
  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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 in ad serving software. Its open source model suggests revenue streams may include support, consulting, or premium services. The target customers are digital advertisers and publishers seeking ad management solutions. The market position is that of a well-known open source alternative to commercial ad servers. The company maintains a social media presence on X (Twitter) to engage with its community. Lack of explicit contact or compliance information may limit trust for enterprise clients. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, reducing transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, a popular and flexible framework for website design. It leverages Google Fonts and the Yoast SEO plugin for typography and search engine optimization respectively. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided HTML. However, no advanced hosting or CDN information was found. The absence of security headers and compliance policies indicates technical debt in security and privacy implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
