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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Action24 operates primarily in the real estate security sector, targeting homeowners and businesses in Ireland. Their business model combines product sales with subscription-based 24/7 monitoring services. The company leverages certifications and customer reviews to build trust and differentiate itself. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, customer service, and customization options, which are competitive advantages. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing tools suggests active engagement and lead generation efforts. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, reinforcing a focused brand identity. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's claims, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The website employs standard security best practices including HTTPS encryption, Google reCAPTCHA v3 on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. Security-related certifications are prominently displayed, enhancing trust. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact details represents a compliance gap and potential risk in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but from reputable sources. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and considering a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Explicitly implement and document security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Zoho SalesIQ, and Trustpilot widgets. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider and Isotope for UI components. Performance optimizations are evident with WP Rocket caching and preloading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. No major technical debt or errors were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, user-friendly, and secure online presence.
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.
