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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

Crossware targets enterprise customers across various sectors, focusing on IT, marketing, sales, and legal teams within organizations. Their business model is SaaS-based, providing cloud-hosted email signature management solutions that enhance brand consistency and compliance. The company holds recognized certifications such as Microsoft Gold Partner, ISO, GDPR compliance, and AICPA, which bolster trust and market positioning. The presence of multiple case studies, testimonials, and social media engagement indicates a strong customer base and active marketing efforts. Partnerships with email security and infrastructure providers like securemx.biz further support their service reliability. The company’s global reach is suggested by international phone numbers and country selection options in forms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate supporting TLS 1.3 and 1.2, OCSP stapling, and secure cookie attributes, indicating a strong baseline security posture. Security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security are present but could be enhanced by enabling includeSubDomains and preload flags. The SPF record is present but invalid, and the DMARC policy is set to 'none', which may expose the domain to email spoofing risks. No known SSL vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contact details suggests limited public vulnerability disclosure and incident handling transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved in email authentication and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HSTS includeSubDomains and preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement across all subdomains.
  2. Correct and validate SPF records and implement a stricter DMARC policy (e.g., quarantine or reject) to improve email security and reduce spoofing risks.
  3. Add a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting channels.
  4. Publish explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web standards and technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery 3.5.1, Google reCAPTCHA, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is via Cloudflare CDN with AWS DNS services, ensuring fast global content delivery and DNS resolution. Performance metrics indicate fast load times and good mobile optimization. Structured data using JSON-LD is well implemented for SEO and rich snippets, including product, organization, local business, and website schemas. The site uses multiple forms for lead capture with appropriate validation and CAPTCHA protection. Technical debt appears minimal, but SPF record issues and lack of advanced security headers represent areas for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, scalable, and secure web presence.
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.
