The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies, including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and TrustArc for privacy compliance, hosted likely behind Cloudflare for performance and security.

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 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. 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

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

Crowe LLP operates in the finance and consulting sectors, targeting organizations requiring audit, tax, and advisory services. Their business model focuses on delivering specialized professional services with a One Crowe approach, integrating industry expertise and innovation. The firm maintains a strong market position with a broad geographic footprint and a comprehensive service portfolio. Their digital presence supports lead generation and client engagement through detailed service pages, insights, events, and career opportunities. The company leverages social media channels for brand awareness and client communication. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled contact via forms, enhancing lead qualification.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, indicating attention to privacy and security. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks, certifications, and incident response procedures.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure compliance and minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous JavaScript loading, CSS modularization, and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Google Tag Manager and TrustArc scripts indicate advanced analytics and privacy management capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with good SEO practices including meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Technical debt appears minimal, though security header implementation could be improved.
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.
