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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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

Brain Behind Ltd holds a solid market position with over 15 years of operation and a global presence. Their business model focuses on providing customizable loyalty and voucher solutions that leverage existing payment infrastructure, reducing integration costs and complexity for clients. The company targets financial institutions, payment service providers, retailers, and tourism sectors, offering scalable solutions from small to very high volume customers. Their partnership network includes reputable payment processors and technology providers, enhancing credibility and reach. The company emphasizes customer retention, fraud prevention, and real-time transaction processing, positioning itself as a technologically advanced and customer-focused player in the loyalty solutions market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain status protections such as clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited, indicating domain security awareness. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a notable gap in DNS security. No explicit HTTP security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting potential vulnerability to common web attacks. The site uses heuristic fraud prevention in its products, but no public security policy or incident response information is available, which could impact trust. The contact form collects personal data but lacks visible anti-CSRF or spam protection indicators. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance contact form security with anti-CSRF tokens and spam protection mechanisms.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity, supplemented by various plugins for sliders, animations, and maps. Hosting is provided by UKFast, a reputable UK-based hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading external scripts and images. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Accessibility is basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
