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

Achilles is a global enterprise specializing in supply chain risk management, sustainability, and compliance solutions. With over 30 years of experience and a presence in 140 countries, Achilles offers a comprehensive platform that integrates data validation, supplier prequalification, auditing, carbon accounting, and AI-enabled reporting. The company serves a wide range of industries including energy, transport, and finance, targeting procurement teams, compliance officers, sustainability leads, and executives. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with multilingual support and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. The WHOIS data is unavailable publicly, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces transparency but is common for enterprises. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and trustworthy, reflecting a mature digital presence.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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

Achilles holds a strong market position as a trusted advisor to leading global brands, evidenced by numerous client logos and industry awards. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS and service offerings that simplify complex supply chain risk and sustainability challenges. The company leverages partnerships and a global network to enhance its service delivery. The website content and case studies demonstrate measurable client impact and a commitment to ethical business practices. The multilingual site and extensive resources indicate a global and diverse customer base. Achilles' strategic acquisition of GRMS expands their capabilities and market reach, reinforcing their leadership in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, and cookie consent banners. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional header implementations and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with multilingual capabilities via WPML, supported by HubSpot for marketing and analytics. It uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts and image optimization via Smush. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts and leveraging caching. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve user experience.
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.
