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. 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 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

Social9 operates in the technology sector focusing on AI-driven social media content creation tools. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a broad collection of specialized tools tailored for different social media platforms, addressing content generation challenges for users and agencies. The company targets social media marketers, agencies, and individual users seeking to automate and enhance their social media presence. Revenue streams likely include subscription or freemium SaaS models. Social9 maintains active social media profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and GitHub, indicating engagement with the tech and marketing communities. The domain age predates the company founding, suggesting domain repurposing but no suspicious activity. The company has not disclosed parent or subsidiary relationships. Growth indicators include a comprehensive toolset and active content marketing via blog and social media channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses, which reduce risk of unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, DNSSEC, and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, which support server-side rendering and optimized performance. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare DNS services, contributing to fast DNS resolution and potential CDN benefits. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, indicating integration with Google Analytics and possibly other marketing tools. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and semantic HTML. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and preloading of critical assets. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and privacy compliance improvements are recommended to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
