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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

Contentful operates in the technology sector as an enterprise SaaS provider of headless CMS and digital experience solutions. Their business model focuses on subscription-based services with additional professional services and a partner ecosystem. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with notable clients like Audible, Kraft Heinz, and Mailchimp. Their platform's modular architecture and AI capabilities provide competitive advantages in content personalization and rapid campaign deployment. The presence of extensive case studies and a partner network indicates a mature and growing business. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or registration opacity, which slightly impacts transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and implements key security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of consent management and analytics tools aligns with privacy best practices. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is robust but could benefit from enhanced communication of security governance and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce attack surface.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing certifications and compliance attestations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern, performant tech stack including React and Next.js, ensuring fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Integration with marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager, Marketo, and Osano demonstrates a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The content is well structured with semantic HTML and accessibility considerations. Hosting details are not explicit but likely leverage cloud infrastructure partners such as AWS. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation of security and compliance features to further strengthen trust.
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.
