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

The Arizona Commerce Authority website serves as the official digital presence of the state-level economic development agency focused on supporting business recruitment, growth, and creation within Arizona. The site highlights key industries such as aerospace, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and energy, providing resources like industry databases, asset maps, and newsletters to engage stakeholders. The business model centers on government-driven economic development with a broad target audience including businesses and investors interested in Arizona's economic landscape. Technically, the site employs a mature technology stack including AngularJS, Bootstrap, Umbraco CMS, and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools. The website is mobile optimized with good navigation and content quality, though accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website's branding and contact information strongly suggest an official entity. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

5 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Arizona Commerce Authority holds a strong market position as a government economic development agency with a comprehensive approach to supporting multiple key sectors. Its competitive advantage lies in its statewide asset mapping, industry-specific databases, and targeted programs for business growth. Revenue streams are likely government-funded with possible grants and partnerships. The target customer segments include businesses seeking to locate or expand in Arizona, investors, and industry stakeholders. Growth indicators include active promotion of emerging technologies and industries such as renewable energy and personalized medicine. The partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement and integration with marketing and analytics platforms. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital modernization and enhanced stakeholder engagement through newsletters and interactive resources.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. Compliance with GDPR is implied by the presence of a privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent banner indicates incomplete privacy compliance. The integration of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and requires ongoing vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government agency website but could be improved with enhanced headers, published policies, and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Deploy a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surface.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Umbraco CMS, AngularJS, Bootstrap, and various JavaScript libraries for UI and functionality. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection and multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Pardot. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading third-party scripts. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The lack of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are technical gaps. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but requires modernization in security and privacy compliance aspects.
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.
