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

Assistiv Labs is a technology company specializing in providing remote accessibility testing services using real assistive technologies such as screen readers and magnifiers. Their platform enables developers and companies to ensure their websites and applications are accessible to disabled users by testing with actual assistive tools remotely via any modern web browser. The company targets accessibility professionals, developers, and organizations committed to digital inclusion. Their market position is that of a niche SaaS provider with a focus on real AT environments, supported by notable clients such as Slack, Asana, and GOV.UK. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks like Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, and integrates analytics and customer support tools such as Google Analytics and HelpScout Beacon. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital presence. Performance is fast, and SEO practices are good, although some improvements in security headers and cookie consent could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain protections like clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not provide explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a clear privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. Overall, Assistiv Labs presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically sound web presence with minor areas for security and privacy enhancement. The domain registration is consistent with the business profile, and no blocking or WAF interference was detected, allowing full content analysis.

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 services delivered via a SaaS model. Their competitive advantage lies in providing real assistive technology environments remotely, which is a unique offering compared to automated accessibility checkers. The company serves a specialized market segment of developers and organizations prioritizing accessibility compliance and user experience for disabled users. Their client base includes reputable organizations, indicating strong market trust and validation. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans with tiered access and training services. The company demonstrates growth potential through its niche focus and remote testing capabilities, aligning well with trends in remote work and digital inclusion. Partnerships with major tech and government organizations enhance credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found, and forms appear secure with no visible issues. The lack of explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and formal incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  4. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and scalability. The use of client-side and server-side rendering optimizes SEO and user experience. Integration with analytics and customer support tools is well implemented. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, reflecting good technical maturity. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust with opportunities for security enhancements.
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.
