Technically, the website is built on Webflow, hosted on DigitalOcean, and integrates modern analytics and tag management tools, demonstrating a mature digital infrastructure.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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

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

Consent Studio operates in the competitive privacy compliance SaaS market, leveraging its European ownership and green energy infrastructure as differentiators. Its subscription-based business model with a free trial appeals to SMEs and enterprises needing scalable consent solutions without page or session limits. The company maintains partnerships with Google and integrates with popular CMS and e-commerce platforms, expanding its ecosystem reach. Customer testimonials highlight ease of use, multilingual support, and cost savings, indicating strong product-market fit. The company appears focused on growth through partner and enterprise programs, suggesting strategic expansion plans. Transparency in pricing and infrastructure location supports compliance-conscious customers. Vallonic, the parent company, aligns with the website's claims, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, indicating baseline security hygiene. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, representing potential improvement areas. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The site uses reputable hosting (DigitalOcean) and integrates with trusted analytics and consent frameworks. Absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced domain security features and published security documentation to improve customer confidence and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan including dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Continue to enhance accessibility and multilanguage support to maintain competitive advantage and inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and consent management. Hosting is provided by DigitalOcean, a reputable cloud provider. The site demonstrates fast performance, excellent mobile optimization, and good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as keyboard controls and ARIA labels are implemented, supporting inclusive design. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, with minimal technical debt visible. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configurations to further strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
