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

2 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"

  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

RocketLinks holds a strong position in the sponsored content marketplace, serving over 4,000 advertisers and 150,000 blogs and press sites. Its business model revolves around facilitating transactions between advertisers and publishers, optimizing campaign management, and reducing operational costs through centralized invoicing and payment guarantees. The company emphasizes confidentiality and trust, with daily verification of published articles and payment upon publication. The platform's client base includes SEO agencies and brands across various sectors such as media, real estate, luxury, and automotive. The company leverages partnerships and data providers to enhance search and filtering capabilities, indicating a robust ecosystem. Growth indicators include a high volume of monthly new articles and media additions. Strategic observations suggest RocketLinks focuses on scalability and customer support, with manual account validation and personalized demos.

Security posture

RocketLinks exhibits a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect forms, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The platform manually validates account openings to enhance data security and user trust. However, the site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No public security policy or incident response contact information is available, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security practices are solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery to a current supported version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party scripts and dependencies to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging its marketing and analytics ecosystem. It uses jQuery 1.7.1, Flickity for sliders, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form protection. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images and videos. Accessibility is basic but present. The site uses HubSpot forms with multi-step workflows and GDPR-compliant consent checkboxes. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely HubSpot managed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from updating legacy libraries and enhancing accessibility 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.
