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

Diligent is a leading enterprise SaaS provider specializing in modern governance software solutions designed to clarify risk and elevate governance for corporate boards and executives. The company offers a comprehensive suite of tools aimed at improving governance, risk management, and compliance processes. Their market position is strong within the governance technology sector, targeting corporate governance professionals and boards globally. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Next.js (React framework), Google Tag Manager, and various third-party analytics and marketing platforms such as Optimizely, Vidyard, and RudderStack. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and employs a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. While explicit security headers are not fully documented in the provided data, the use of reputable third-party services and privacy policies indicates a mature security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with extensive privacy compliance and marketing transparency. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, which is justified for an enterprise SaaS provider. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, improving accessibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security 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

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

  • 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

Diligent operates in the technology sector, focusing on governance, risk, and compliance software for enterprise clients. Their business model is SaaS-based, providing subscription services to corporate boards and governance professionals. The company benefits from a strong market position as a comprehensive governance software provider, leveraging partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms to optimize customer engagement and product relevance. Growth indicators include extensive use of marketing tools and a detailed cookie consent framework, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of explicit contact information on the main page suggests a focus on enterprise client acquisition through digital channels rather than direct public inquiries.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is robust with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies by purpose and provider, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of multiple reputable third-party analytics and marketing services is balanced with privacy disclosures and consent management. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not confirmed and should be implemented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No signs of vulnerabilities, malware, or phishing were detected. Incident response and security policy pages were not found, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly document security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  3. Maintain regular security audits of third-party scripts and integrations.
  4. Publish clear incident response and security policy information to improve transparency.
  5. Continue to monitor and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, enhancing performance and SEO. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and video content delivery, including Google Analytics, Optimizely, Vidyard, and RudderStack. The site uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy laws. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicit but Cloudflare services are implied by cookies. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
