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

CBS Pakistan is a medium-sized technology company founded in 2009, specializing in customized business software solutions including ERP systems for retail, manufacturing, and education sectors, as well as UI/UX design and website development services. The company positions itself as an experienced provider with over 16 years of continual excellence and more than 1000 projects delivered, targeting businesses seeking tailored technology solutions to optimize operations and growth. Technically, the website is built with standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) and uses Cloudflare for DNS and hosting services. Google Analytics is integrated for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could improve in privacy 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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

CBS Pakistan operates in the technology sector with a focus on ERP software and digital services for retail, manufacturing, and education industries. Their business model is B2B, delivering both prebuilt and custom software solutions alongside UI/UX and website development. The company demonstrates a solid market position with a long operational history and a portfolio of over 1000 projects. Their client base is global with 320 active clients, indicating a broad reach. The presence of client logos and testimonials supports trustworthiness. The company leverages partnerships with social media platforms for marketing but does not disclose partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, custom development, and consulting services. Growth indicators include a career page and blog, suggesting ongoing business development and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare as registrar and DNS provider, which adds a layer of security and reliability. The domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity for DNS security enhancement. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. The site does not expose sensitive data in HTML and uses secure POST methods for form submissions. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanism, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better headers, policies, and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to obtain user consent for tracking.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  5. Provide a dedicated security or incident response contact channel to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies with a clean HTML structure and CSS styling. JavaScript is used for interactive elements such as navigation menus, counters, and modals. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and registrar services, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with video content and multiple images, but no explicit performance optimization techniques like lazy loading were detected. The site is mobile responsive with a hamburger menu for smaller screens. Accessibility features are basic, with some semantic HTML but no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. SEO is supported by meta tags including description and keywords. The site uses a custom CMS indicated by the /cms path. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
