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

Vector is a technology company specializing in contact-based marketing solutions that enable businesses to identify and target exact buyers through contact-level data and intent signals. Their platform integrates with major CRM and advertising platforms to provide dynamic, signal-driven ad audiences, positioning them as a modern alternative to legacy account-based marketing tools. The website demonstrates a solid market position with over 1,000 GTM teams as customers and offers a range of key services including site de-anonymization, contact-level intent, and advertising capabilities. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS and leverages a modern tech stack including HubSpot analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and policies could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as consent management and secure form handling but lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent banner present but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, Vector's website is professional, trustworthy, and technically sound, with room for improvement in privacy and security policy transparency. The risk level is low, but enhancing compliance documentation and security disclosures would strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.vector.co points to unregistered service stage-us-east-1-client-alb-231037774.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Vector operates in the technology sector, targeting B2B marketing and sales teams with a SaaS platform focused on contact-level marketing and advertising. Their competitive advantage lies in their ability to de-anonymize site visitors and build precise ad audiences based on real buyer intent signals, differentiating from traditional account-based marketing tools. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and premium features. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with integrations to HubSpot, Slack, Zapier, Google Ads, Salesforce, and major social media platforms. Growth indicators include a customer base of over 1,000 GTM teams and active content marketing through blogs, playbooks, and podcasts. Strategic observations highlight a focus on innovation in marketing technology and data-driven advertising.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple tracking and analytics scripts managed with consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses secure forms with exclusions to prevent unwanted data collection. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the Usercentrics CMP and consent defaults for EU/UK/CH regions. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear data retention policies to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Typewriter-effect and Splide.js for UI enhancements. It integrates with HubSpot for analytics and forms, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. Performance is optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images. The technical implementation is robust with no visible errors or broken elements. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation. The technology stack supports scalability and integration with major marketing platforms, aligning well with the company's business model.
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.
