0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Assistiv Labs is a specialized technology company founded in 2019 that offers a SaaS platform for remote accessibility testing using real assistive technologies such as screen readers and magnifiers. The company targets developers, QA teams, and accessibility professionals who need to ensure their websites and applications are accessible to disabled users. The platform is trusted by notable organizations including Slack, Asana, and GOV.UK, indicating a strong market position within the accessibility niche. Their business model includes subscription plans with free trials and additional services like free training and debugging tools. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics and HelpScout Beacon. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain registration protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are recommended for enhanced security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, though a cookie consent mechanism is missing despite analytics usage. Contact information is limited to an email address, with no phone or physical address provided. Overall, Assistiv Labs presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound web presence with a strong focus on accessibility. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and expanded contact information would further enhance their security posture and compliance. The domain registration data aligns well with the business history, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

4 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 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 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

  3. 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

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

Assistiv Labs operates in the technology sector focusing on accessibility testing solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in providing remote access to real assistive technologies, eliminating the need for physical devices or complex setups. The SaaS subscription model with free trials facilitates customer acquisition and retention. The presence of high-profile clients and government entities indicates strong market validation. The company emphasizes training and debugging support, adding value beyond basic testing tools. Their partnership ecosystem includes integrations with popular platforms and analytics providers. Growth indicators include continuous content updates, video demos, and a clear focus on remote work trends. The business is small-sized and appears to be independent without subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The security maturity of Assistiv Labs is moderate to high. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes protective statuses to prevent unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking despite the use of tracking technologies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, indicating good operational security practices. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity but would benefit from additional hardening and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations given analytics usage.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Expand contact information to include phone numbers and/or physical addresses to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and scalability. The use of Google Analytics and HelpScout Beacon indicates integration of user behavior tracking and customer support tools. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. The domain is registered via Squarespace Domains but no Squarespace CMS is used. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, with no signs of deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configuration to reduce technical risk.
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.
