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

Splicky GmbH operates a German-language programmatic advertising platform that enables advertisers and agencies to efficiently manage multichannel campaigns across DOOH, mobile, desktop, CTV, and audio channels. The company positions itself as an accessible and smart solution for both beginners and professionals in digital advertising, emphasizing campaign optimization and audience reach. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with the Avada theme and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Hotjar and CookieYes for user consent management. The technical infrastructure is mature, with SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness, although some security enhancements like DNSSEC and security headers could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA, but lacks published security policies or incident response contacts. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the company's credibility. No privacy policy or terms of service were detected in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. The site is free from adult or questionable content and targets a general professional audience in the advertising technology sector.

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. 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Splicky GmbH targets advertisers and agencies seeking programmatic advertising solutions across multiple digital channels. Their business model revolves around providing a platform that simplifies complex programmatic buying processes, enabling real-time bidding and campaign optimization. The company leverages partnerships for data-driven insights such as footfall measurement and integrates multiple media types to enhance campaign reach and effectiveness. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on German-speaking markets with a small company size and a founding year of 2013, suggesting a stable presence in the ad tech industry. The platform's ease of use and multichannel capabilities are key competitive advantages. The company maintains a LinkedIn presence but lacks visible direct contact details on the homepage, which may impact lead generation. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies may pose compliance risks as regulations evolve.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via CookieYes, allowing users to customize their preferences. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers (such as Content Security Policy or HSTS) were detected in the provided data, which are recommended best practices to enhance security. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The security score is moderate to good, but improvements in DNS security and header implementation are advised to strengthen the overall posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements like carousels.

The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS is managed via domaincontrol.com, and the registrar is Mesh Digital Limited. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience aligned with business goals.
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.
