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

3 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 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 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. 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 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

  • DNS health: 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
  • 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

Dahabshiil holds a strong market position as a trusted money transfer service catering primarily to diaspora communities needing to send funds internationally. Their business model revolves around digital remittance services with a mobile app and online platform, offering flexible payment options. The company leverages licensing under UK FCA and EMI regulations to build trust. Their multi-country customer service phone numbers and active social media presence support a broad international customer base. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies suggests an area for compliance improvement. The company appears to be large in size with a focus on finance sector services, but no parent or subsidiary company information was found. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates active marketing and analytics strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. There is no evidence of incident response policies or security certifications published on the site. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance user privacy by reviewing and minimizing tracking via Google Tag Manager and providing opt-out mechanisms.

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.
