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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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
    • 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

  • 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

Deduce operates in the finance and technology sectors, offering B2B SaaS solutions focused on identity fraud prevention. Their market position is strong, supported by numerous awards and positive client feedback. The business model revolves around providing real-time fraud detection services leveraging AI and a proprietary identity graph. Target customers include banks, fintechs, and security teams. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem and invests in thought leadership through reports and resources. Growth indicators include recent awards and active marketing efforts. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication approach, favoring contact forms and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and trust. No security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, representing an area for improvement. The use of third-party scripts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the privacy policy and cookie banner. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and processing practices in privacy documentation.

The site is well-optimized for SEO with Yoast SEO plugin and includes structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The presence of multiple external scripts and embedded videos suggests a rich user experience but requires careful management to avoid performance degradation or security risks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
