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

Wide Angle Analytics is a German-based SaaS company offering a privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. Their platform emphasizes cookie-free, GDPR-compliant web analytics hosted exclusively in the EU, targeting marketers and businesses seeking comprehensive visitor insights without intrusive cookie banners. The company positions itself strongly in the privacy-focused analytics market with a user-friendly dashboard designed for marketers rather than data scientists. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Rocket SaaS theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO and jQuery libraries. The site demonstrates good SEO, accessibility, and mobile optimization. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the company's German roots, using OVH sas as the registrar. The site integrates Iubenda for privacy and cookie policies, reflecting a mature approach to compliance. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security.txt or explicit incident response contacts are published, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional transparency and DNS security enhancements. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or compliance gaps. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and providing clearer incident response contacts to enhance trust and security readiness.

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

4 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"

  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
    • 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

Wide Angle Analytics operates in the technology sector, focusing on privacy-compliant web analytics. Their competitive advantage lies in offering cookie-free tracking that respects GDPR and EU data sovereignty, appealing to privacy-conscious businesses. The SaaS business model targets marketing teams, startups, agencies, and bloggers, providing easy integration with popular CMS platforms. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans with free trials. The company maintains a professional online presence with testimonials and compliance resources, indicating a growth-oriented and customer-focused approach. Partnerships with Input Objects GmbH and use of third-party compliance tools like Iubenda strengthen their ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR adherence and no data sharing with third parties. However, the lack of a published security.txt and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. The site uses minimal third-party scripts, reducing attack surface. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could improve incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications to boost trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a specialized Rocket SaaS theme optimized for marketing analytics. It uses Yoast SEO for search optimization and jQuery for client-side scripting. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site integrates Iubenda scripts for privacy compliance and uses a proprietary analytics script. Hosting is likely with OVH sas, a reputable European provider. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and improving incident response mechanisms would strengthen the infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for security enhancements.
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.
