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

TheKOLLAB.io is a specialized Web3 and crypto marketing agency founded in 2023, focusing on influencer marketing, KOL partnerships, social media management, PR, community management, SEO, and fundraising services for NFT, DeFi, metaverse, and blockchain projects. The company positions itself as a leading agency with exclusive access to elite crypto KOL networks, targeting Web3 companies seeking growth through influencer campaigns and PR. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Bing Ads, and Twitter tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and structured data for enhanced search visibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The domain is registered via privacy protection with GoDaddy, consistent with the business claims and hosting provider. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

6 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  3. 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

TheKOLLAB.io operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting the Web3 and crypto marketing niche. Its business model revolves around providing comprehensive marketing services including influencer partnerships, fundraising, social media, PR, and SEO tailored for blockchain-related projects. The company leverages a strong network of crypto influencers and KOLs, which is a competitive advantage. The presence of client testimonials, a Clutch badge, and active social media profiles indicate a growing and credible market presence. The use of Calendly and Telegram for client engagement suggests a modern, digital-first approach to customer interaction. The company is relatively new, founded in 2023, and appears to be focused on scaling within the Web3 marketing ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for compliance and trust in the crypto space. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no explicit privacy or cookie policies found, though Google Consent Mode is implemented to restrict tracking in EU regions. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting standard security headers, formal policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Bing Ads, and Twitter tracking pixels, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site uses Swiper.js for carousels and Particles.js for visual effects, enhancing user experience. Performance is moderate with some custom CSS and JavaScript optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the lack of security headers and explicit privacy compliance pages are technical debt areas that should be addressed to improve security and regulatory adherence.
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.
