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 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
    • 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

Basis Technologies operates in the technology and media sectors, targeting digital marketers and advertising agencies. Their business model centers on SaaS platform offerings combined with consulting and managed services. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with major ad networks and platforms, enhancing their market reach. Their content strategy includes thought leadership, educational resources, and customer testimonials, reinforcing credibility and customer engagement. The presence of SOC 2 certification and a detailed privacy policy indicates a focus on compliance and security, important for enterprise clients. The company’s domain age and registration details align with their claimed history, supporting legitimacy. Their ecosystem includes related domains for privacy and education, enhancing their service portfolio.

Security posture

The security posture of Basis Technologies is generally strong. The website enforces HTTPS and displays a SOC 2 certification badge, indicating adherence to recognized security standards. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to secure DNS queries. Some common security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected and could be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. Incident response and security policy pages are not publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains a good security baseline suitable for its industry and clientele.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to harden the website against attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact emails for security and incident reporting to facilitate communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Oxygen Builder, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. It integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Pardot for marketing automation, Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics, and Convert Experiences for A/B testing. Video content is embedded via Vimeo. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some heavy multimedia content but optimized for user experience. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though enabling DNSSEC and additional security headers would further strengthen the infrastructure. Hosting provider details are not explicit but registrar is NameCheap, Inc. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
