NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Cint operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, specifically in market research and data insights. Its business model revolves around a programmatic marketplace connecting survey buyers and suppliers globally. The company leverages a large network of integrated supply partners and offers a suite of products addressing various research needs, including media measurement and academic sampling. The presence of multiple language sites and partnerships with recognized entities like Lucid and SmartRecruiters indicates a broad and strategic ecosystem. The company emphasizes data quality, fraud prevention, and privacy compliance, which are critical competitive advantages in the research industry. The extensive blog and customer testimonials further reinforce its market leadership and customer engagement.

Security posture

Cint demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of AI-driven fraud detection tools. The website does not expose sensitive information and employs consent management for privacy compliance. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response details, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement. The company appears to have a dedicated Trust and Safety team, indicating internal security governance. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices, supporting the integrity and trustworthiness of their platform.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed standards, improving inclusivity.

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.
