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

Clear Plan is a UK-based specialist service provider focused exclusively on Workday Adaptive Planning implementations. With over 15 years of experience, they position themselves as the only dedicated UK partner for this financial planning software, targeting finance departments seeking to improve budgeting, forecasting, and profitability. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in client testimonials and partner logos, reflecting a strong market position and client trust. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring good performance and SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violation, which is unusual and reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site presents a credible business front with minor gaps in 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

3 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

Clear Plan operates in the technology sector, specifically in enterprise financial planning software implementation. Their business model is service-oriented, providing tailored Workday Adaptive Planning solutions, training, and support. The company targets medium to large finance departments and organizations requiring advanced budgeting and forecasting tools. Their competitive advantage lies in exclusive UK partnership status and a founder-led team with a 100% client satisfaction record. The partnership ecosystem includes Workday and other technology providers. Growth indicators include a portfolio of notable clients and active marketing through professional digital channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers and a dedicated security policy page limits transparency. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The lack of WHOIS data due to domain registration anomalies is a concern but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit, and analytics are managed through Google Tag Manager. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. Accessibility features like focus outlines and responsive design are implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
