RISK LEVEL: HIGH

Based on your answers, your digital properties likely have vulnerabilities attributed to the unmanaged use of third-party code. This means that third-party code may:

  • Put the security of your users at risk
  • Leak end-user data such as product preferences and browsing history
  • Increase latency and abandonment rates
  • Slow down the performance of your site
  • Violate regulatory requirements, i.e., GDPR, COPPA, HIPAA, etc.

To fix this issue and make sure your brand and reputation are safe, The Media Trust can help you:

  • Gain significantly more visibility into the code that renders on user browsers based on their browser, geography, device, and other factors.
  • Identify any code, cookies, and files from legitimate vendors that may inadvertently put your end-users at risk and put an immediate stop to bad actors spreading infectious malware.
  • Understand the impact of third-party code on the performance of your website or mobile app, including speed and latency, which could have a negative effect on the user experience.

By scanning over 1 billion websites last year, we’ve found that 65 - 90% of the code on the typical enterprise-level website is provided by third parties. That’s a significant amount of code outside of a site owner’s control.
