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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

Business context

Business profile

Cognyte operates in the technology sector with a focus on government and enterprise security analytics. Their business model revolves around providing software and intelligence solutions that empower clients to enhance security operations. The company leverages partnerships and advanced marketing tools to maintain a competitive edge. The website content and structure suggest a large enterprise with a global footprint. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates a commitment to information security standards. The company targets high-value clients in sensitive sectors, which necessitates strong compliance and security measures. Growth indicators include active marketing, multilingual support, and integration with leading analytics platforms. The lack of visible subsidiaries or parent company information suggests Cognyte operates as a standalone entity or under undisclosed ownership.

Security posture

Cognyte demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The website does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries, and scripts are loaded with deferred and lazy loading techniques to optimize performance and security. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident handling. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which is a critical trust factor for enterprise clients. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Disclose Data Protection Officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability to improve domain registration trustworthiness.

The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance indicators suggest fast loading times and efficient resource management.

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.
