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

Underdog Media is a digital advertising solutions provider focused on helping publishers maximize their revenue potential. Established in 2002, the company positions itself as a partner for digital media businesses seeking to optimize ad monetization. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting publishers and media companies. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Astra theme, enhanced with SEO and analytics plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, a reputable hosting provider. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain status locks in place; however, DNSSEC is not enabled and there is a lack of visible security policies or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a cookie consent mechanism, but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. Overall, the site is functional, well-structured, and business-focused, but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Underdog Media operates in the media sector, specifically providing digital ad solutions to publishers. The business model revolves around enabling publishers to increase ad revenue through technology and service offerings. The company appears to be small in size with a long domain history supporting its legitimacy. The target audience includes digital publishers and media companies. The website content and metadata emphasize revenue maximization and digital advertising. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The company leverages common digital marketing and analytics tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The absence of detailed contact information and security policies suggests areas for operational improvement. No partnerships or related domains were identified from the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status locks that prevent unauthorized domain changes, indicating a baseline security posture. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and libraries, with no visible vulnerable components. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

The site loads jQuery and other standard scripts, with CSS optimized and responsive design evident. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, a reputable provider.

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.
