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

The website www.rkdms.com currently serves a restricted access page that blocks visitors from the EU to comply with GDPR regulations. The page is minimalistic, providing information about GDPR compliance and linking to Merkle Inc.'s privacy and legal policies. Merkle Inc. is a recognized marketing technology company specializing in data-driven customer experience management. The website content reflects a focus on privacy and compliance but lacks interactive elements or detailed business information on this restricted page. Technically, the site uses basic HTML and CSS with responsive design elements but does not include advanced frameworks or visible analytics/tracking scripts on this page. No security headers or SSL configuration details were available from the provided data, and no WHOIS registration data could be retrieved, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. The absence of contact information and cookie consent mechanisms further limits the site's compliance and trust signals. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates awareness of GDPR and privacy policies but lacks visible technical security controls such as security headers or incident response contact details on this page. The WHOIS data absence is a critical risk factor, reducing overall trustworthiness. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the content is accessible without challenge. Overall, the site scores moderately on privacy compliance and business credibility but is limited by missing WHOIS data and minimal content. Strategic improvements in security headers, contact transparency, and WHOIS registration verification are recommended 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  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

Merkle Inc. operates in the technology and marketing sector, providing data-driven marketing and customer experience management services. The company targets business clients, particularly those requiring GDPR-compliant marketing solutions. The business model is B2B with a focus on leveraging data and technology to optimize marketing outcomes. The website content and linked domains indicate a mature organization with established privacy and legal frameworks. However, the restricted page limits direct customer engagement and contact information, suggesting this page is a compliance gate rather than a full business portal. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual for a company of this size and may indicate domain registration issues or privacy protection measures not disclosed. The company appears to maintain a strong partnership ecosystem as indicated by links to Merkle corporate resources. Revenue streams likely include marketing services, data analytics, and consulting. Growth indicators are not visible on this page. The restricted access to EU users reflects a cautious approach to regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website shows a basic security posture focused on regulatory compliance with GDPR. The presence of a responsible disclosure policy link suggests some level of security governance. However, the lack of visible security headers, absence of contact information for incident response, and missing WHOIS registration data are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected on this page, but the minimal content limits the scope of security evaluation. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms despite having a cookie policy, which may be a compliance risk. Overall, the security maturity appears moderate but could be significantly improved with enhanced technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer details if applicable.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with responsive design but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indicators. No JavaScript libraries or analytics scripts were detected on the restricted page, indicating minimal technical complexity. Performance is likely moderate given the simple page structure. The absence of security headers and SSL configuration details is a technical risk. The site does not appear to use a content management system or third-party hosting indicators from the provided data. Opportunities exist to modernize the technical stack with improved security controls, analytics integration, and accessibility features to support business and compliance goals.
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.
