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 intersection of finance and technology, focusing on identity security and fraud prevention. Its business model is B2B SaaS, leveraging AI and a proprietary identity graph to provide unique fraud detection capabilities. The company targets financial institutions and fintech firms, addressing a critical pain point of synthetic and stolen identity fraud exacerbated by AI technologies. Deduce's competitive advantage lies in its patented technology, extensive identity graph, and real-time data forensics. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with notable brands and has received multiple industry awards, enhancing its market credibility. The website reflects a mature digital strategy with clear navigation, rich content, and user engagement features such as demos and resource downloads. Deduce's growth indicators include active client testimonials and Gartner peer reviews, positioning it as a trusted vendor in the identity security market.

Security posture

Deduce demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no exposed sensitive data in the website content. The use of third-party security and analytics scripts is managed appropriately. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact trust among security-conscious clients. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting potential enhancements. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were identified. Overall, Deduce's security posture is strong but could benefit from improved public documentation and security best practices to align with industry standards and client expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Increase transparency around data retention policies and privacy compliance to strengthen user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, jQuery, and accessibility tools like UserWay. It uses Ensighten for tag management and embeds Vimeo videos for rich media content. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts and images. SEO is well addressed through Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
