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

7 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

Sovrn AI operates in the technology and e-commerce sectors, targeting publishers who want to monetize content through AI-powered product recommendations and trend analysis. Their business model leverages AI to analyze large datasets and deliver real-time insights and shopping experiences. The company benefits from being part of the established Sovrn Holdings, Inc., which adds credibility and market presence. Their beta offerings indicate a focus on innovation and early market adoption. The lack of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via support forms, typical for tech companies. The presence of privacy and legal policies supports regulatory compliance, although cookie consent is missing. The company’s ecosystem includes related Sovrn domains for information and support, indicating a structured partner and service network.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No published security or incident response policies limit transparency and preparedness communication. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is a gap in responsible security practices. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit indicators. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a beta-stage technology service but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie policy and explicit consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. The use of asynchronous JavaScript chunks and CSS modules indicates a modular and maintainable codebase. Images are optimized with responsive srcsets and lazy loading, contributing to fast load times. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure and professional design. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities to improve accessibility and security configurations.
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.
