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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Contrast Security operates in the technology sector providing B2B SaaS application security solutions. Their market positioning is strong, supported by Gartner recognition and a broad partner ecosystem. The business model focuses on delivering runtime security and vulnerability management tools that integrate into development pipelines, appealing to enterprises aiming for DevSecOps maturity. The company maintains a consistent brand and messaging strategy, with extensive resources and customer testimonials enhancing credibility. Their digital presence includes multiple social media channels and partner portals, indicating a mature marketing and sales infrastructure. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, which is common for enterprise SaaS companies relying on lead capture forms and partner channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Osano, indicating good privacy and security awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No public security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could hinder rapid communication in case of security incidents. There is no evidence of a published vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for mature security organizations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publicly share a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize security risks.

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including GSAP for animations, Lottie for vector animations, and jQuery for legacy support. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Salesloft, Engagio, and OptinMonster, all managed with user consent via Osano. Performance is moderate with some heavy assets like background videos and multiple scripts, but overall the site is responsive and mobile-optimized. The technical implementation is professional with good SEO practices and structured navigation. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks and enhance user 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.
