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. 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 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. 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 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, YouTube, Google APIs

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

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

arx iT operates in the technology sector focusing on geospatial solutions, targeting public sector entities, transportation, energy, and non-profit organizations. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service portfolio, long-standing client relationships, and certifications. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through consulting, development projects, training sessions, and maintenance contracts. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including training platforms like formationsig.com. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and participation in industry events. Strategic observations highlight their emphasis on innovation, quality management, and environmental and social responsibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and use of reputable plugins. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and absence of a public security.txt or incident response contact reduces the overall security posture. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to demonstrate readiness and build trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Google Translate for multilingual support and Complianz plugin for GDPR cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags implemented for SEO and social media integration. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business domain, with no significant technical debt or performance bottlenecks detected. Opportunities exist to strengthen security headers and incident response mechanisms.
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.
