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

Actian is an established enterprise technology company specializing in data intelligence and AI-driven data platforms. Their website presents a professional and comprehensive overview of their offerings, targeting enterprise customers seeking advanced data integration, management, and analytics solutions. The company leverages modern web technologies including WordPress, SEO tools, and multi-language support to maintain a strong digital presence. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and security headers implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies including consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable gap, slightly reducing trust but not undermining the overall legitimacy of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and improving transparency around domain registration.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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.

  3. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Actian operates in the technology sector with a focus on enterprise data intelligence platforms. Their business model is B2B, providing software and services that enable organizations to harness AI and data analytics for better decision-making. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional web presence, supported by social media channels and structured data for SEO. While direct contact details are limited on the site, contact forms and social media provide communication channels. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual for a company of this scale and should be investigated further. Overall, Actian appears well-positioned in the market with a focus on innovation and customer-centric data solutions.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes multiple security headers, indicating good baseline security practices. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. The security score is good but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and translation plugins such as Yoast SEO and Weglot, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Intellimize for marketing optimization. The site is mobile optimized with good performance and basic accessibility features. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured. No major technical debts or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and publish more comprehensive security documentation to align with enterprise best practices.
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.
