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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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"

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 a business model based on content, user reviews, and AI recommendations. It targets SMEs and professionals in Spain and other European markets, offering detailed software guides and comparisons. The platform leverages partnerships and advertising networks to monetize its services. Its competitive advantage lies in AI-driven personalized software recommendations and a comprehensive content library. The company maintains a consistent brand and strong social media presence, supporting growth and market penetration. Revenue streams likely include advertising, lead generation for software vendors, and premium listings. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a focus on controlled user interactions via forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure form implementations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure channels indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The site uses standard tracking and advertising scripts, balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct security contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy compliance details.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising networks for privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React 18 and the Astro framework, enabling performant and modular front-end architecture. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well-implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some large images and multiple external scripts, but overall user experience is smooth. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
