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

6 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.

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Google APIs, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

ARIAQ positions itself as a niche education and consulting provider in quality and performance sectors, serving industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and education. The business model focuses on delivering specialized training and tailored consulting services. The company demonstrates trust through ISO certifications and extensive experience. The website content and structure support a professional brand image with clear service offerings and upcoming training schedules. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are exposed, favoring contact forms for communication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools to comply with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, which could enhance protection. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and Slick Carousel for UI components. Lazy loading of images is implemented via Blazy, improving performance. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. 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.
