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

CrestWave technologies is an international technology company specializing in integrating mobile and payment services at the intersection of financial and telecom sectors. Founded in 2016, it operates globally with offices in Russia, Latvia, Kenya, and Hong Kong, serving telecom operators, financial institutions, and businesses requiring advanced mobile and payment solutions. Their key offerings include messaging platforms, payment gateways, telecom routing agents, and mobile application development, positioning them as a mid-sized B2B technology provider with a solid market presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and particles.js, uses Google Fonts, and follows HTML5 Boilerplate standards, indicating moderate digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized with good design and navigation, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident, and performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the domain is registered consistently with no privacy protection, but lacks DNSSEC and HTTP security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, CrestWave technologies presents a professional and trustworthy business front with room for improvement in security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen their risk management and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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. 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

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

CrestWave technologies operates in the telecommunications and financial technology sectors, targeting telecom operators and financial institutions globally. Their business model focuses on providing integrated software solutions and services for messaging, payment processing, telecom routing, and mobile applications. The company leverages partnerships and international offices to expand market reach. Client references and detailed product offerings suggest a competitive advantage in specialized telecom and payment integration. Growth indicators include active recruitment and multiple international locations. The partnership ecosystem includes companies like X INFOTECH Africa Ltd and Factory Heroes Ltd., enhancing regional presence and service delivery.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The absence of DNSSEC and HTTP security headers exposes the domain to potential DNS spoofing and web-based attacks. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations, which could pose legal risks. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms reduce transparency and preparedness for security incidents. However, the domain status clientTransferProhibited is a positive control against unauthorized domain transfers. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness to meet industry best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other data protection regulations.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and security culture.
  5. Improve website accessibility and SEO features to enhance user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but basic technology stack including jQuery, Unslider for sliders, particles.js for visual effects, and Google Fonts for typography. It follows HTML5 Boilerplate conventions, indicating adherence to web standards. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident, and performance is moderate without advanced optimization techniques. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking tools, suggesting minimal data collection. Technical debt appears low but opportunities exist to enhance SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to reduce operational risks and improve user engagement.
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.
