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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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"

    • 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';…

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

Atlas Insurance holds a strong market position in Malta's insurance sector, leveraging a century-long history to build trust and brand recognition. Their business model focuses on diversified insurance offerings catering to both personal and commercial clients. Revenue streams likely include premiums from various insurance lines and ancillary services such as employee assistance. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem including subsidiaries like AtlasPCC.eu for protected cell facilities and insurance management. Growth indicators include active content publishing (journal), digital marketing awards, and comprehensive online service portals. Strategic observations highlight a focus on customer service excellence, digital engagement, and regulatory compliance, positioning Atlas Insurance as a market leader in Malta's insurance industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent management aligned with GDPR requirements. Security headers are partially implemented, and no sensitive data leakage was observed. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and plugins necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. Minor JSON-LD syntax errors could impact SEO and structured data integrity but do not pose direct security risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Correct JSON-LD structured data syntax errors to improve SEO and structured data accuracy.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers, including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern and diverse technology stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, Magnific Popup, and Google Tag Manager. The site uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Complianz GDPR plugin for privacy compliance. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The presence of multiple external scripts and plugins indicates a complex front-end architecture that requires careful maintenance to avoid performance degradation and security risks. Technical debt appears low, but structured data errors and potential header improvements suggest opportunities for modernization and optimization.
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.
