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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

ShopBack's business model centers on affiliate marketing, earning commissions from partner merchants and sharing cashback with users. The company has a broad partnership ecosystem including major retailers and travel services, enhancing its market reach. The platform's growth is supported by extensive marketing and tracking technologies, enabling targeted advertising and user engagement. While the WHOIS data is privacy-protected, the website's branding and content quality indicate a legitimate and established business. The absence of direct contact information and privacy disclosures suggests areas for compliance enhancement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high security maturity level with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible sensitive data exposure. Use of third-party scripts introduces typical risks, but no immediate vulnerabilities were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, establishing incident response contacts, and maintaining regular security audits of third-party integrations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Provide visible contact information including security and incident response email addresses to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Enhance data protection officer visibility and obtain relevant certifications to strengthen compliance posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack featuring React and Next.js, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Integration with marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Criteo supports advanced user tracking and advertising capabilities. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare CDN, contributing to performance and security. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of visible CMS information and incomplete WHOIS data suggest opportunities for improved transparency and documentation.
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.
