Kochava · Technology · United States

Medium risk. 10 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

56/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website smart.link currently serves as a placeholder page with minimal content indicating an 'Unlisted Smartlink' and requesting users to retry later. The page title and minimal metadata reference Kochava, a company specializing in mobile conversion tracking and optimization, suggesting the domain is intended for use in mobile marketing analytics. However, the lack of substantive content, absence of privacy or cookie policies, and no contact information limit the ability to fully assess the business or service. The technical infrastructure shows use of Google Cloud DNS and Google Fonts, but no advanced frameworks or CMS are detected. Security posture is weak due to missing security headers and no visible HTTPS confirmation in the provided data. WHOIS data reveals privacy protection via Domains By Proxy, LLC, which is common and justified for technology companies but reduces transparency. Overall, the site appears to be temporarily unavailable or under construction, resulting in a low AI score and limited trustworthiness.

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

10 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. 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

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 domain smart.link is associated with Kochava, a known player in mobile marketing analytics, targeting mobile marketers and app developers. The business model likely revolves around providing tracking and optimization services for mobile advertising campaigns. The domain age is mature, supporting legitimacy. However, the current website content does not provide detailed business information, contact details, or trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. The lack of marketing or analytics tools on the page suggests this is not a fully operational customer-facing site at this time. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified. The domain uses privacy protection, which is typical in this sector to protect registrant identity.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is weak based on the available data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement in the provided content, which is critical for secure communications. No incident response or security policy information is available. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but reduces transparency. Overall, the site currently lacks essential security and privacy best practices, posing risks if sensitive data were to be collected.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  3. Publish clear contact information and incident response channels to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  5. Enhance website content quality and user experience to reflect the business services and improve credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a minimal technical stack with Google Fonts and Google Cloud DNS for hosting infrastructure. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The HTML content is basic and lacks meta tags beyond the title. There is no evidence of analytics or marketing tools integrated. Performance and mobile optimization cannot be assessed due to minimal content. The site lacks accessibility features and SEO optimization. The domain is registered with privacy protection, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the technical implementation is minimal and requires significant enhancement to support a professional technology service.
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.
