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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The company operates in the technology and consulting sectors, serving a diverse set of industries including finance, government, and non-profits. Their business model revolves around providing advisory services, benchmarking, and research products. The presence of partner domains like globalequations.com suggests a collaborative ecosystem. The firm has a global reach and a medium-sized organizational footprint, founded in 2008. Their digital presence is optimized for user experience and SEO, supporting growth and client engagement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled lead capture via contact forms.

Security posture

Avasant demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. Multiple security and analytics cookies are used, including Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare bot management cookies, indicating proactive bot and spam protection. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, and no public security or incident response policies are published. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. The absence of direct security contact channels limits transparency for incident reporting. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident handling.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to encourage security researcher engagement.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce, integrating multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and payment processing (Stripe). The presence of Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, HubSpot forms, and Matomo analytics indicates a sophisticated tracking and marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, supported by responsive design and semantic HTML. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy with Cloudflare CDN and security services implied by cookies. Technical debt is minimal, but security header implementation could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business goals effectively with opportunities for enhanced security and privacy controls.
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.
