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

Tappx is a technology-driven AdTech company specializing in app monetization, user acquisition, and programmatic advertising across multiple platforms including mobile, web, and OTT/CTV. The company targets publishers, app developers, advertisers, and demand partners, positioning itself as a medium-sized player with a significant footprint evidenced by over 500 publishers and 160 billion monthly ad requests. The website is professionally designed with excellent SEO and mobile optimization, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site leverages WordPress with advanced performance optimizations such as lazy loading and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for data collection. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and some security best practices, though it lacks explicit security headers and published policies. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration details is a concern, slightly reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the site is credible and business-focused but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy, terms, and security disclosures.

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

3 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Tappx operates in the competitive AdTech sector, offering monetization and user acquisition solutions that appeal to a broad audience of developers, publishers, and advertisers. Its business model centers on programmatic advertising and direct premium campaigns, supported by proprietary technology and a global reach across 190+ geographies. The presence of well-known clients like Zynga and LaLiga underscores its market credibility. The company maintains partnerships and service domains such as dashboard.tappx.com and collaborates with techsoulogy.com for careers and corporate information. Growth indicators include a large volume of ad requests and diversified platform support. Strategic observations suggest a focus on innovation and client-centric solutions, with room to improve compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, script lazy loading, and some event listeners for CSP violations. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates a gap in security governance and transparency. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting privacy compliance efforts. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting industry best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and sales.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO plugin, optimized for performance using WP Rocket and served via Cloudflare CDN. It uses modern web technologies including lazy loading for scripts and images, Google Fonts, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with preconnect and preload hints for critical resources. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of explicit security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent risks. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve compliance documentation to align with best practices.
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.
