  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

CSG Pakistan operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital marketing and IT solutions for businesses in Pakistan. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting small to medium enterprises seeking growth through digital channels. They maintain partnerships with recognized platforms such as BusinessFirms, Clutch, DesignRush, and GoodFirms, enhancing their market credibility. Their portfolio and client testimonials indicate a strong local and international client base. The company leverages multiple digital marketing channels including SEO, PPC, social media, content marketing, and email marketing. Their strategic emphasis on tailored campaigns and measurable results positions them competitively in the Pakistani market. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests potential risks in regulatory compliance and customer trust.

Security posture

The security posture of CSG Pakistan's website is currently basic with significant gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support expose users to potential data interception risks. Security headers such as HSTS are not enabled, and DNSSEC is not implemented, reducing DNS security. No published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program was found, indicating limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The site uses cookies and tracking pixels without visible consent mechanisms, raising privacy compliance concerns under GDPR and similar regulations. While no critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the overall security maturity is low. Immediate improvements in SSL configuration, security policy publication, and privacy compliance are recommended to enhance trust and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure data in transit.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to protect domain name resolution and certificate issuance.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  5. Establish and disclose a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program (security.txt).

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Breakdance theme and associated plugins. It employs modern frontend libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders, LightGallery for image galleries, Typed.js for animated headings, and lazy loading for images. Hosting is on Google Cloud infrastructure (IP 35.208.51.255). Performance optimizations include TenWeb Speed Optimizer and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts (Titillium Web). Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel. Despite these strengths, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and missing security headers represent technical risks. The site’s SEO is enhanced by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata, supporting social sharing and search engine indexing.
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.
