0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Dataflow is a financial management software company offering a suite of products including financials, supply chain management, procurement, project accounting, and reporting & analysis. Their solutions target SMEs and fast-growing or complex international organizations, providing scalable cloud or on-premise options. The website presents a professional image with clear navigation and relevant business content, positioning Dataflow as an established player in the financial software market. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as jQuery, Foundation CSS framework, and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, ActOn, and Chaport Live Chat. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with room for improvement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible HTTP security headers such as CSP or HSTS in the provided data. No sensitive data exposure was detected, but the absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts indicates room for maturity. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules, limiting trust verification and reducing the overall legitimacy score. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security headers, clearer contact information, and improved WHOIS transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Dataflow operates in the technology sector, focusing on financial management software tailored for diverse industries and business models. Their competitive advantage lies in offering customizable, scalable solutions that address complex financial and operational needs. The business model centers on software sales, implementation, training, and support services. Target customers include SMEs and international organizations seeking integrated financial and supply chain solutions. The company maintains a moderate market position with a consistent brand presence and a portfolio of product guides, case studies, and brochures supporting customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS but lacks critical HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks that require ongoing monitoring. GDPR compliance indicators are present via privacy and cookie policies, but deeper compliance details are not evident. Overall, the security maturity level is basic with recommendations to enhance header configurations, incident response readiness, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Improve WHOIS data transparency or migrate to a domain with verifiable registration details.
  4. Audit and monitor third-party scripts regularly to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more explicit contact information for business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with jQuery and the Foundation CSS framework, ensuring responsive design and good SEO practices. Integration of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing approach but may impact performance and privacy. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. The absence of visible security headers and limited accessibility features highlight areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data.
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.
