Admiral · Media · N/a

Medium risk. 7 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

67/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The domain zipthelake.com currently serves a 404 Not Found error page with minimal content describing the role of Admiral, a service provider for digital publishers offering copyright access control and privacy consent management. The site is hosted on Google Cloud Platform and uses AWS DNS services. The technical infrastructure is modern but the website itself lacks substantive content, contact information, or business details. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and certificate rotation mentioned, but no security headers or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy statement and cookie policy described, including GDPR compliance. Overall, the site appears to be a placeholder or service endpoint rather than a full business website, limiting the ability to assess business credibility and user engagement.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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
  • 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

The business behind the domain appears to be Admiral, a company providing copyright and privacy compliance services to digital publishers. The domain is likely used as part of Admiral's service infrastructure rather than a direct customer-facing site. The business model focuses on enabling publishers to manage copyright access and privacy consent, including GDPR compliance. There is no direct evidence of revenue streams or customer engagement on this domain. The market position is that of a niche service provider in the media and digital publishing sector. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The lack of contact information and business details on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS with frequent certificate rotation and explicitly states no executable files or downloads are hosted, reducing risk of malware. However, no security headers were detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is published. Incident response contact is provided via a security email at getadmiral.com. Privacy compliance is addressed with a basic privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. The site does not appear to collect user data directly. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a service endpoint but lacks advanced controls and transparency expected for a full business website.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response
  4. Add clear contact information and business details to improve trust and credibility
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Google Cloud Platform with AWS DNS servers, indicating a robust cloud infrastructure. The content served is limited to static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no dynamic content or CMS detected. No analytics, marketing, or advertising scripts are present, suggesting minimal tracking and data collection. The site lacks meta tags, Open Graph, or structured data, which negatively impacts SEO and social media integration. Performance is likely moderate given the cloud hosting but cannot be fully assessed due to minimal content. The site is not mobile optimized beyond basic CSS styling. Overall, the technical implementation is minimal and serves primarily as a service endpoint rather than a full website.
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.
