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 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';…

  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.

    • 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

Catalis operates in the government technology sector, targeting government agencies with software and support services. The business model is B2G, focusing on delivering modernization solutions and customer support for Automon products. The company was founded in 2022, consistent with domain registration data. Catalis maintains an active social media presence and uses multiple analytics and marketing tools to engage its audience. The lack of terms of service and explicit security policies suggests areas for maturity growth. The company appears to be medium-sized with a consistent brand identity and trust signals such as structured data and privacy compliance. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to protect against unauthorized domain changes, indicating a baseline security awareness. Multiple third-party scripts and tracking services are used, which increases the attack surface but are managed with cookie consent mechanisms. No security headers were detected in the provided data, representing a potential improvement area. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could impact trust and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but lacking advanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the JupiterX theme and Elementor page builder, supported by various plugins for analytics, marketing, and cookie consent. DNS is managed via AWS Route 53, indicating reliable hosting infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. The use of multiple tracking and marketing tools suggests a mature digital marketing approach but requires careful management to avoid privacy issues. The site lacks some advanced security configurations and accessibility features, representing opportunities for technical improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
