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

Cooper Software is a specialized ERP consulting and product company with over 20 years of experience as a trusted IFS partner. They provide comprehensive services including ERP implementation, consulting, support, and complementary products primarily targeting industries such as manufacturing, energy, construction, food & beverage, and service sectors. Their market position is that of an established, medium-sized business with a strong focus on delivering value through IFS Cloud solutions and expert consulting. Technically, the website is built on HubSpot CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but could be improved by adding explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, reducing domain trustworthiness despite the professional website and business content. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy from a business perspective but requires verification of domain legitimacy and enhanced privacy compliance.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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"

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

The company operates in a competitive ERP consulting market with a focus on IFS Cloud solutions. Their business model is B2B, offering consulting, implementation, support, and proprietary products that complement IFS ERP. They serve multiple key industries, leveraging certified expertise and a portfolio of innovative products. The presence of client case studies and partner logos enhances credibility. Their marketing ecosystem includes Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads, supported by HubSpot CRM and analytics. The lack of public WHOIS data is unusual and may indicate privacy protection or registration issues, which should be addressed to improve trust. The company targets medium to large enterprises requiring ERP solutions, positioning itself as a reliable partner with deep domain expertise.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable analytics and marketing scripts, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency in security practices. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, privacy controls, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident response.
  4. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and AOS for animations. It integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot Analytics, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a sophisticated marketing and data collection setup. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be managed by HubSpot, providing reliable uptime and security. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of cookie consent, which should be addressed to reduce compliance and security risks.
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.
