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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…

  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.

    • 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

Antaris Consulting operates in the energy and sustainability sectors, targeting organizations requiring ISO certifications and sustainability consulting. Their business model focuses on consulting and training services, with a strong emphasis on compliance and environmental responsibility. The company has a stable market presence since 2011, supported by a professional website showcasing client logos and detailed service descriptions. The use of modern web technologies and analytics tools indicates a commitment to digital engagement and performance monitoring. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and structured data enhances trust and SEO. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests areas for compliance enhancement. The company maintains a LinkedIn presence, reinforcing its professional network and credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent potential security gaps. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency in incident response. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adopting additional security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security policies and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Gravity Forms plugin for form management. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site uses jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for interactive elements. Hosting is provided by Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd., an Irish registrar and hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing scripts and leveraging caching. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
