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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 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

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

Ryte's market positioning as a specialized platform for website user experience and SEO optimization is reinforced by its acquisition by Semrush, a major player in digital marketing tools. The business model is subscription-based SaaS, serving a broad range of clients including agencies, e-commerce, publishers, and brands. The company leverages partnerships and social media to enhance brand visibility. Growth indicators include a large user base (15,000+ users) and customer testimonials from notable clients. The platform's comprehensive service suite and expert content offerings position it competitively in the technology sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with no clear privacy or cookie policies found, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adding missing headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and readiness.
  4. Improve cookie consent mechanisms to ensure user awareness and control over tracking.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and good performance. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with optimized images and preloading of fonts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Technical implementation is robust, supporting a high-quality user experience and SEO optimization.
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.
