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

BDOW! (formerly Sumo) is a SaaS company providing advanced email capture and lead generation tools including pop-ups, forms, and targeting features designed to help website owners and marketers grow their email lists and improve conversion rates. The company positions itself as a leading free and paid solution with integrations to popular marketing platforms and a focus on ease of use and customization. The website is built on WordPress hosted on WP Engine and uses the Showit platform for design and hosting, with Cloudflare as CDN and security proxy. The technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and integrates analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which severely impacts its security posture. Privacy and terms documents are hosted externally on Google Docs, indicating basic compliance but no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present. Contact information is limited to forms without explicit emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site demonstrates good design and user experience but requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

BDOW! targets website owners and marketers seeking to increase email list growth and conversion through customizable pop-ups and forms. Its business model is SaaS with free and paid tiers, leveraging integrations with major marketing platforms to enhance workflow productivity. The company shows evidence of active user base with over 30,000 active installs and offers a 14-day money back guarantee, signaling confidence in product quality. The affiliate program and partnerships with Showit and FirstPromoter indicate a growing ecosystem. Testimonials highlight strong conversion rates and revenue impact, supporting competitive positioning. The use of Zapier integration expands potential market reach. However, the lack of detailed company founding information and limited direct contact details may affect perceived credibility.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No HSTS policy or OCSP stapling is implemented, and session resumption mechanisms are missing, reducing connection security and performance. Security headers are minimal and do not include important protections such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. While Cloudflare is used as a CDN and security proxy, the site does not leverage its full security capabilities. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are found, indicating immature security governance. These gaps pose risks to user data confidentiality and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Develop and publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency and readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript animation framework (GSAP) and standard libraries like jQuery 3.5.1. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. The site is built on WordPress hosted by WP Engine and uses the Showit platform for design and hosting, with Cloudflare as CDN. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting incomplete performance data or slow loading. Mobile optimization is good, and the site is responsive. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility features are minimal. The lack of valid SSL and security headers represents a significant technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance monitoring improvements.
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.
