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. 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 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

  3. 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 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

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

CostPocket targets accounting firms and companies seeking to streamline expense reporting and financial document management. Their business model is SaaS-based, generating revenue from subscription plans and integrations. The company emphasizes AI and automation to reduce manual work, positioning itself competitively in the fintech and accounting software ecosystem. Partnerships with major accounting software providers like Netvisor, Xero, and Asteri strengthen their market reach. The presence of an active blog and multiple language support indicates a growth-oriented and customer-focused approach. The company was founded in 2018 and has steadily expanded its user base and feature set.

Security posture

The website and service employ HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and enforce clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers. Passwords are stored encrypted, and access controls restrict document visibility appropriately. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could be a gap in transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads) introduces tracking but no known vulnerabilities were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and DNS security improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main site.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  4. Disclose Data Protection Officer contact information to enhance GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack centered on Vue.js with supporting libraries like Axios and Lodash. It employs asynchronous loading of scripts and fonts for performance optimization. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and likely CDN, contributing to fast load times and good mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported with meta tags and Open Graph data. The site includes multi-language support and integrates with various third-party services for analytics, marketing, and customer engagement (e.g., Calendly, Zendesk Chat). No major technical debt or outdated technologies were observed. The site is well-structured and optimized for user experience across devices.
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.
