Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

71/100

Risk levelMedium

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

StackCommerce operates as a commerce platform that connects publishers and brands to facilitate product discovery and sales. The company partners with over 1,000 publishers and 5,000 brands, offering services such as branded shops, affiliate programs, performance-based advertising (StackMedia), content creation, and agency services. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks like React and Gatsby, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and secure forms, though explicit security policies and headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data slightly reduces trust but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency and WHOIS information.

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

5 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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

StackCommerce holds a strong market position as a commerce platform serving publishers and brands. Its business model revolves around enabling product discovery and monetization through branded shops, affiliate marketing, and sponsored content. The company leverages partnerships with a large network of publishers and brands, indicating a scalable and diversified revenue stream. The platform's integration of marketing and tracking tools supports targeted advertising and performance measurement. Growth indicators include extensive partner networks and a professional digital presence. The company’s operations appear focused on technology and e-commerce sectors, with a clear emphasis on content-driven commerce solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure data collection via forms with consent. However, there is a lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could impact transparency and readiness perception. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability management and communication. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Improve WHOIS data availability or transparency to enhance domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, which provide a performant and scalable front-end architecture. The use of Webpack and asynchronous script loading contributes to fast page load times and efficient resource management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts, ensuring good accessibility and user experience across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, there is no detected CMS, and hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The technical implementation is robust but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more explicit compliance documentation.
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.
