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.

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

Aha! operates as a SaaS business model targeting product managers and teams seeking integrated product development solutions. Their market position is strong, supported by a large user base and endorsements from major corporations. The company offers a broad ecosystem of tools and training, enhancing customer retention and expanding revenue streams. Partnerships are evident through social media and content collaborations. The business exhibits growth potential through AI integration and continuous product innovation, maintaining competitive advantages in the product management software market.

Security posture

The website's security posture is solid with mandatory HTTPS and secure data handling practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces resilience against certain web attacks. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information limits transparency. Privacy policies and cookie consent align with GDPR, but explicit data protection officer contact details are missing. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and technical header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a formal vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to comply with GDPR and enhance user confidence.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking mechanisms to ensure no vulnerable or privacy-invasive components are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based front end with advanced animations using Lottie, supported by a CMS (Novelle by Aha!) and asset delivery via Contentful. The site demonstrates fast load times, mobile optimization, and accessibility compliance. SEO is well addressed through structured data and meta tags. Event tracking and A/B testing scripts indicate a data-driven approach to user experience optimization. Hosting details are not explicit but inferred to be robust given performance and security posture. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security and privacy documentation.
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.
