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 holds a strong market position in the advertising technology sector, targeting digital marketers, agencies, and media teams with a SaaS platform complemented by consulting and managed services. Their business model leverages automation to reduce operational complexity in advertising workflows. The company demonstrates growth through educational initiatives and a comprehensive resource center. Partnerships and integrations with major platforms are evident, enhancing their ecosystem. The domain age and WHOIS data support the company's legitimacy and long-standing presence in the industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. The presence of SOC 2 certification is a significant trust indicator. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS using Oxygen Builder, ensuring flexible and responsive design. It leverages popular libraries such as jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. Performance is optimized with video backgrounds, lazy loading, and CDN usage for fonts and scripts. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Tag Manager, Pardot, Microsoft Clarity, and Convert Experiences, supporting data-driven marketing efforts. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features and mobile optimization are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous monitoring.
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.
