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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 10 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Ableton operates primarily in the technology sector, focusing on creative tools for music production. Their business model includes software sales, hardware products, and educational services such as certified training and classroom offerings. The company targets musicians, producers, and educational institutions worldwide, with localized content and multi-language support. Their strong social media presence and comprehensive legal and privacy documentation indicate a well-established brand with a commitment to compliance and user engagement. The absence of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or registry limitations, but the website's quality and content affirm legitimacy. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, relying instead on contact forms and social channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a robust security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Cookie consent is actively managed with a clear banner and options for users, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No security.txt file was found. The site uses Matomo analytics, which is privacy-friendly compared to other analytics platforms. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and user data.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Modernizr for feature detection, Matomo for analytics, and Biscuits for cookie consent management. The site is optimized for performance with preloaded fonts and efficient asset delivery via a CDN. Accessibility features and responsive design are well implemented, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, although some OG description fields are empty. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience aligned with the company's professional brand.
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.
