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

Sortlist is a business platform focused on connecting companies with relevant marketing and creative agencies to build successful business stories. The website targets businesses seeking agency services and positions itself as a trusted intermediary with a strong presence in Belgium and multiple European markets. The platform offers agency matching services based on specific project requirements, supported by a positive user rating and active social media engagement. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with image optimization via Gumlet and visitor identification through Snitcher and Lead Forensics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience. However, some technical improvements are recommended, such as adding security headers and enhancing privacy disclosures. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies in the analyzed content. No WHOIS data was found, which limits domain trust assessment but does not necessarily indicate illegitimacy given the professional website content and business information. Overall, Sortlist presents a solid business platform with good technical maturity and moderate security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices would enhance trust and regulatory alignment.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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

Sortlist operates in the B2B marketing services sector, providing a platform that facilitates connections between businesses and marketing agencies. Its competitive advantage lies in its curated agency matching based on client needs and a broad European footprint. The business model is platform-based, generating value by streamlining agency discovery and selection. Revenue streams likely include commissions or fees from agencies or clients. The target customers are businesses seeking marketing and creative agency partnerships. The company shows growth potential through internationalization and positive user feedback. Partnerships with tracking and visitor identification services indicate a focus on marketing intelligence, though privacy transparency could be improved.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. The lack of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and incident readiness. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Enhancing these areas would reduce risk and improve security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. Use of Gumlet for image delivery suggests attention to media optimization. Visitor identification scripts like Snitcher and Lead Forensics are integrated for marketing intelligence. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, no CMS or hosting provider details were identified. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party scripts and adding caching strategies. Accessibility features are basic, with room for enhancement to meet WCAG standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional digital presence but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
