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

SEO.com is a professional SEO service provider offering a range of SEO services, tools, and resources aimed at helping businesses improve their search engine rankings. The website positions itself as an authority in the SEO industry, targeting businesses and website owners seeking to enhance their online visibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and integrates multiple modern analytics and marketing technologies such as Mixpanel, Microsoft Clarity, and MadKudu, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in appearance but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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. 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 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

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

SEO.com operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on SEO services and digital marketing. Its business model revolves around providing SEO consulting, tools, and resources to businesses aiming to improve their search rankings. The company maintains a strong market position as an SEO authority, supported by a consistent brand presence and active social media channels. Revenue streams likely include service fees and possibly subscriptions for SEO tools. The target customer segment includes small to medium businesses and digital marketers. The lack of detailed company registration and contact information limits deeper business intelligence insights. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major analytics and marketing platforms, enhancing service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could delay response to security incidents. The extensive use of third-party scripts increases the attack surface and requires regular auditing. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, there is room for significant improvement in compliance and security hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities from external dependencies.
  5. Increase transparency by updating WHOIS registration details or using verified domain registration services.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and leverages a modern technology stack including JavaScript libraries and analytics tools like Mixpanel and Microsoft Clarity. It uses Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, indicating a focus on search engine visibility. The site loads multiple asynchronous scripts for tracking and marketing, which may impact performance but also provide rich user behavior insights. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses modern font loading techniques. However, the lack of detected security headers and incomplete WHOIS data suggest technical debt in security and domain management. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script management and security configurations to enhance overall robustness.
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.
