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

ConnectPlug is a Brazilian company providing integrated management solutions primarily for the food service and retail sectors. Their offerings include a comprehensive system combining PDV (Point of Sale), ERP, autoatendimento (self-service kiosks), and financial and stock control, targeting restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and various retail businesses. The company positions itself as a market reference with over 100,000 entrepreneurs using their solutions. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS, hosted on AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN, and uses modern frontend libraries such as Swiper.js and jQuery. However, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and proper TLS configuration, which is a critical security concern. Security headers are partially implemented, but important features like OCSP stapling, session resumption, and DNSSEC are missing. Privacy and cookie policies are present but basic, with cookie consent implemented via a popup. Contact information is clearly provided, including emails, phone numbers, and social media links. Overall, the company demonstrates a solid business model and digital presence but needs to urgently address security vulnerabilities to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

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

ConnectPlug operates in the Brazilian retail and hospitality markets, offering SaaS solutions that streamline sales, inventory, and financial management. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating multiple sales channels including physical stores, delivery, and e-commerce into a single platform. The business model focuses on subscription-based software with additional services like franchise management and BI analytics. The target customers range from small to medium-sized businesses in food service and retail sectors. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers and maintains an active social media presence to enhance brand visibility. Growth indicators include a large user base and multiple customer testimonials highlighting satisfaction and operational improvements. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expansion into additional verticals and enhancement of security and compliance frameworks to meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The current security posture of ConnectPlug's website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols. This exposes users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While some security headers like HSTS are present, they are not fully configured to include subdomains or preload lists. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records further reduces DNS security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, indicating limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Data protection practices are basic, with cookie consent implemented but no detailed GDPR or similar compliance information. The lack of certificate transparency compliance and OCSP stapling suggests potential issues with certificate revocation checking. Overall, the security culture appears immature and requires significant improvements to safeguard business and customer data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure all website traffic.
  2. Enable full HSTS policy with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS and hosted on AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN providing caching and edge services. Frontend technologies include jQuery 3.5.1, Swiper.js for sliders, and Google Fonts for typography. The site uses embedded YouTube videos and integrates with Amazon SES for email sending (as indicated by SPF records). Performance metrics are not available, but the page size and resource count are zero in the provided data, possibly indicating incomplete measurement or dynamic loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and TLS support is a critical technical debt. The site uses cookies for campaign tracking and has a cookie consent mechanism implemented via JavaScript and localStorage. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
