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

8 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 company positions itself as a responsible email marketing service provider with a focus on preventing spam and abuse. Its business model revolves around SaaS subscriptions for email campaign management. The presence of a detailed imprint with legal and contact information enhances credibility. The company educates users on email laws and enforces strict policies against unauthorized emailing, which supports compliance and customer trust. The lack of visible privacy or cookie policies on this page suggests these may be located elsewhere or need improvement. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the content.

Security posture

The security posture shows strengths in abuse prevention mechanisms such as user identity verification via text message and integration with ISP spam reporting systems. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version 1.6 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of DNSSEC and no visible security headers or HTTPS enforcement details indicate areas for improvement. The domain is registered without privacy protection, with a long history consistent with the business age, which supports legitimacy. Incident response contact is clearly provided via abuse@sendcockpit.com, demonstrating readiness to handle abuse reports.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions.
  3. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms.
  4. Add and enforce HTTPS with proper SSL/TLS configuration and security headers.
  5. Develop and publish a formal security policy and vulnerability disclosure program.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 1.6 and Google Fonts, with custom CSS and JavaScript. Hosting appears to be managed via netways.de DNS servers. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. No analytics or advertising scripts were found, indicating minimal tracking. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture.
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.
