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

Diligent Corporation is a leading enterprise software provider specializing in governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) solutions. Positioned as a leader in the 2025 GRC MarketScape by IDC, Diligent offers a comprehensive AI-powered platform that centralizes board management, risk, audit, and compliance reporting. Their target audience includes corporate boards, governance professionals, and enterprise leaders seeking to elevate governance and clarify risk through modern technology. The company operates a sophisticated SaaS business model with a strong emphasis on security, privacy, and customer trust. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including React, Next.js, and Material UI, hosted on Netlify. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, RudderStack, and Marketo, reflecting a mature digital marketing and data collection strategy. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO, providing an excellent user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and maintains dedicated trust and security pages, including a vulnerability disclosure program. However, explicit security headers and a security.txt file are not detected, representing areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and trust signals. Overall, Diligent demonstrates a strong security posture and business credibility with comprehensive privacy compliance. The risk assessment indicates a low risk profile with recommendations to enhance transparency and security best practices further.

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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 holds a strong market position as a leader in governance software, serving a global enterprise clientele. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating AI capabilities into governance and risk management, streamlining complex compliance workflows. The business model is subscription-based SaaS, targeting boards and governance professionals across industries. The company showcases a broad partnership ecosystem and trusted customer base, including major corporations. Growth indicators include extensive content marketing, virtual summits, and thought leadership. Strategic observations highlight the company's focus on consolidating GRC tools into a unified platform, enhancing user experience, and leveraging AI to differentiate in a competitive market.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Diligent's website is high, with enforced HTTPS and dedicated trust resources. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is evident through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is supported by a vulnerability disclosure program, though explicit contact channels for security incidents are not prominently listed. The security culture is reflected in transparency about data protection and customer support availability 24/7. Areas for improvement include publishing security headers and a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing explicit security incident contact emails (e.g., security@diligent.com) on the trust or contact pages.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use and minimize attack surface.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Material UI for styling, ensuring a responsive and accessible user interface. Hosting on Netlify provides reliable performance and scalability. Integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital infrastructure supporting data-driven decision making. The site demonstrates fast loading times and good SEO practices, including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to further modernize security configurations and enhance incident response capabilities.
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.
