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

Aligned operates in the technology and energy sectors, focusing on data center infrastructure solutions. Their market positioning is strong, leveraging innovative cooling technologies and sustainability to differentiate from competitors. The business model centers on providing scalable, flexible data center capacity and services to cloud, enterprise, and federal clients. Revenue streams likely include colocation leasing, build-to-scale projects, and managed services. The company targets high-growth segments such as AI, machine learning, and HPC workloads. Partnerships with entities like QScale and a dedicated federal solutions brand indicate a broad ecosystem and strategic diversification. The presence of multiple certifications and a strong capital base suggests operational excellence and financial stability. Growth indicators include extensive capacity under management and a wide geographic footprint across North and Latin America.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers including CSP with nonce, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. The presence of multiple industry certifications (ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, FISMA NIST) indicates strong internal security controls and compliance frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file represent gaps in transparency and incident readiness. The site uses modern analytics and marketing scripts loaded asynchronously to minimize risk. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and customer trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Include Data Protection Officer contact information to strengthen GDPR compliance and data protection transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance Content Security Policy with explicit directives and report-uri to improve defense against XSS attacks.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using well-known plugins such as Gravity Forms for forms and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages Google Tag Manager to manage analytics and marketing tags efficiently. Performance is optimized with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of Cloudflare as a CDN and security provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA live regions. Technical debt appears low with clean HTML and CSS, and the use of nonce attributes in inline scripts indicates attention to security best practices. Opportunities exist to further modernize security headers and enhance incident response capabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience aligned with enterprise standards.
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.
