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

Yottaa is a mature, established technology company specializing in eCommerce web performance optimization. Founded in 2009, it offers a comprehensive suite of services and products including a Web Performance Cloud, expert-managed services, and performance consulting. The company targets eCommerce businesses aiming to improve site speed, reduce friction, and increase conversion rates. Its market position is strong, supported by over 1,500 top eCommerce clients and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, though it suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security concern. The security posture is moderate with some best practices in place but notable vulnerabilities such as a subdomain takeover risk. Privacy compliance is good with clear policies and GDPR indicators. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements to enhance user trust and protect data.

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 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

  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. 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.yottaa.com points to unregistered service dpu-load-balancer-1544281335.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
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component 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

Yottaa operates in the technology and eCommerce sectors, providing performance optimization solutions that help online retailers improve user experience and revenue. Its business model combines SaaS offerings with expert-managed services, allowing flexibility for clients. The company leverages a strong partnership ecosystem, including integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and other marketing platforms. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive performance management platform and consulting services. The presence of detailed customer testimonials and a broad service portfolio indicates a growth-oriented and client-focused approach. The company maintains a medium-sized enterprise profile with a mature domain and consistent branding.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with critical gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support exposes users to potential data interception risks. The subdomain takeover vulnerability on staging.yottaa.com represents a significant threat that could be exploited to impersonate the company or inject malicious content. While the domain has strong EPP status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or updates, the lack of modern security headers and session management features reduces overall security. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. The company should prioritize fixing SSL issues, securing subdomains, and enhancing security headers to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting modern protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) to secure all site traffic.
  2. Remediate the subdomain takeover vulnerability on staging.yottaa.com to prevent potential hijacking.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  5. Improve site performance by optimizing resource loading and reducing page size.
  6. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  7. Review and enhance session management and OCSP stapling for better SSL performance.
  8. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to comply with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, integrating various marketing and analytics technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Pardot, and CrazyEgg. Hosting is on Google Cloud infrastructure. Despite a rich tech stack, the site suffers from slow load times (23.8 seconds) and a large number of resources (344) contributing to a large page size (approx. 468 KB). Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive design and semantic HTML elements. SEO is well addressed with Yoast SEO plugin and comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of modern TLS protocols are significant technical risks. The site also has a subdomain takeover risk and lacks advanced security features like HSTS and OCSP stapling. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but requires security and performance optimizations.
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.
