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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Coface Taiwan operates within the finance sector, focusing on trade credit insurance and risk management. The company benefits from a strong global network and brand recognition, serving a large client base across approximately 200 markets. Its business model centers on providing insurance products, debt collection services, and business intelligence to mitigate credit risks. The website links to numerous international Coface domains, indicating a well-integrated global presence. The target audience includes SMEs to large enterprises requiring credit risk solutions. The company’s longevity and extensive expertise provide competitive advantages. However, the absence of visible privacy and security policies on the site suggests areas for compliance improvement. The digital infrastructure supports marketing and analytics through Google Tag Manager and consent SDKs, enabling data-driven insights and user tracking with moderate privacy compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to handle cookie and tracking consents, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations like GDPR. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contact information is found, which could hinder transparency in case of security incidents. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing a potential area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The site uses modern scripts and libraries without known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security policy page and provide incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and consent mechanisms to ensure compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Ibexa (formerly eZ Platform) CMS, a robust enterprise content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes. The presence of Didomi Consent SDK indicates a mature approach to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter Card metadata. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain registrar is local to Taiwan, suggesting regional hosting or management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
