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

6WIND is a technology company specializing in virtualized and secure networking software solutions. Their offerings target communication service providers, mobile network operators, cloud providers, and enterprises worldwide. The company positions itself as a trusted provider of high-performance, scalable, and cost-effective networking software, including virtual service routers, host accelerators, and cloud-native solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with rich content, including testimonials, case studies, and video resources. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and integrates modern libraries and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Pardot, and LinkedIn widgets. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid or missing SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols, which is a critical issue that must be addressed to ensure secure communications and trust. Privacy compliance is well-handled with a cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the site demonstrates good digital maturity but requires immediate attention to its SSL configuration to improve security and user trust.

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

6 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
    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

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

6WIND operates in the telecommunications and technology sectors, providing software solutions that enable network virtualization and security. Their business model focuses on delivering software that replaces traditional hardware, offering scalability and efficiency benefits. The company serves a global customer base including CSPs, MNOs, enterprises, and systems integrators. Their market position is strengthened by partnerships and a portfolio of products such as 6WINDCloud and 6WINDGate. The website showcases a strong partnership ecosystem and active engagement through webinars, blogs, and video content. The presence of a free trial and evaluation options indicates a customer-centric approach aimed at facilitating adoption. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on innovation and sustainability, emphasizing energy efficiency in their solutions.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not have modern TLS protocols enabled, which significantly impacts its security posture. While no critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the absence of HTTPS is a critical security flaw that exposes users to potential interception and undermines trust. Security headers are not present, and there is no visible security or incident response policy on the site. Forms are present but their security cannot be fully assessed from the provided data. The site uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing, but these increase the attack surface if not properly managed. Immediate remediation of SSL issues and implementation of security best practices are recommended to enhance the security maturity of the website.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) to protect data in transit.
  3. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, leveraging a modern tech stack including jQuery, GSAP, Swiper, and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Pardot, and LinkedIn widgets. The site has moderate performance with a load time of approximately 7.6 seconds and a page size of about 398 KB. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, with responsive design and appropriate ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing some level of DDoS protection and CDN services. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS reduce the overall technical robustness. The site uses advanced CSS and JavaScript techniques for UI/UX enhancements, indicating a mature front-end implementation.
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.
