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

Davis Strategic Innovations, Inc. (DSI) is a small, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business specializing in providing strategic-level technical and educational services primarily to U.S. government departments in aerospace, defense, medical, environmental, and homeland security sectors. The company leverages its SDVOSB status to secure government contracts and focuses on delivering expertise in engineering, IT, homeland security, and related fields. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear business focus and relevant content for its target audience. Technically, the site is built on a modern WordPress CMS with popular frameworks like Elementor and Gantry5, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, and uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies found, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the site is credible and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

6 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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

DSI operates in a niche government contracting market, focusing on aerospace and defense sectors with a strong emphasis on veteran-owned business status. The business model centers on providing specialized technical and management solutions to U.S. government agencies, supported by direct award eligibility due to SDVOSB certification. The company demonstrates a stable market position with a domain age of over 15 years and multiple trust indicators such as awards and certifications. The website content and structure support its business goals, targeting government clients and partners. There is no evidence of extensive marketing or analytics tools, indicating a focus on direct government contracting rather than broad consumer marketing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests gaps in compliance with data protection regulations. No forms or user input fields were detected on the homepage, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting and improve transparency.
  5. Consider adding contact email addresses for general and security-related inquiries to improve communication and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using Elementor and Gantry5 frameworks, which are modern and widely supported technologies. The site uses jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements and Font Awesome for icons. Hosting is behind Cloudflare DNS, providing some level of protection and performance benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. There are no visible forms on the homepage, limiting data collection but also reducing risk exposure. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
