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

5 findings 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 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

    • High

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

Business profile

Computop holds a solid market position as a payment service provider with a broad portfolio of payment solutions tailored to various sectors such as banking, retail, healthcare, and hospitality. Their business model revolves around providing payment gateway technology, fraud prevention, analytics, and integration services. The company leverages partnerships with major payment providers like PayPal and supports a wide range of payment methods globally. The website content and domain age support their established presence. The company emphasizes certifications and compliance, which enhances trust and competitive advantage. Growth indicators include continuous technology updates, multi-factor authentication rollout, and a comprehensive partner ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Computop is high, demonstrated by adherence to industry standards such as PCI DSS and ISO/IEC 27001. The website enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and integrates multi-factor authentication for merchant access. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of publicly available incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies is a gap that could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. The use of a consent management platform indicates GDPR compliance efforts. Overall, the security culture appears mature and aligned with best practices for payment service providers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the main navigation or footer.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and mature content management system, ensuring good content management capabilities. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site integrates Google Tag Manager, Matomo Analytics, and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting a modern digital marketing and compliance approach. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for further enhancement.
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.
