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

5 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"

  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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

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

Crystallize operates in the competitive headless commerce and PIM market, differentiating itself through developer-centric APIs, subscription commerce capabilities, and a flexible product universe concept. Its business model is SaaS-based, generating revenue from platform subscriptions and services. The company fosters a strong partner ecosystem and community via Slack and conferences, enhancing market reach and customer loyalty. The presence of detailed guides, case studies, and comparison pages indicates a strategic approach to customer education and competitive positioning. The parent company, New Normal Group, supports its operations, suggesting stable backing. Growth indicators include active content updates, video resources, and a broad technology stack supporting multiple frontend frameworks.

Security posture

The website and platform exhibit a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and domain transfer restrictions. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance DNS security. The site lacks explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies, which are recommended for transparency and rapid mitigation. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are not explicit, which could be improved. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized incident response documentation and enhanced DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the crystallize.com domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  3. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure and incident response policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen trust signals.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

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.
