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

7 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Appvizer operates as a media and software comparison service with an AI-driven recommendation engine, targeting professionals and companies seeking software solutions. Its multi-language presence and extensive content library indicate a mature business model focused on content marketing and lead generation. The platform's partnerships and social media presence enhance its market reach. Revenue likely derives from advertising, sponsored listings, and affiliate partnerships. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a digital-first customer engagement approach. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals such as verified reviews and structured data, supporting its competitive positioning in the software comparison market.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party scripts and analytics is evident, though explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not confirmed and could be improved. No dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are published, representing a compliance gap. The site uses secure forms but lacks visible anti-CSRF tokens or advanced input validation indicators. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for a media platform but with room for enhancement in formal security governance and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework (version 18.3.0) and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Ads. Hosting is managed by OVH, a reputable provider, with DNS servers also from OVH. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with responsive design and clear navigation. SEO is well addressed through comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of multiple external scripts and rich media content. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web 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.
