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

DataPower S.A. is a Greece-based market research company established in 2000, specializing in data collection and data mining services. The company targets research firms, management consultants, and both private and public sector organizations seeking to improve marketing strategies. Their service portfolio includes internet-based interviews, personal and telephone interviews, qualitative research, mystery shopping, and data mining. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content, supporting their market position as a reliable research partner. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap Icons, FontAwesome, and animation libraries, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and moderate performance. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected, and accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, there is a lack of explicit security headers, incident response policies, vulnerability disclosure, and security certifications. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but improvements in security best practices and transparency are recommended. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained with a solid business foundation. Strategic enhancements in security policies, accessibility, and compliance documentation would further strengthen their digital maturity and risk posture.

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

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

DataPower S.A. operates in the niche market research sector in Greece, leveraging over two decades of experience. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive suite of research services tailored to both domestic and international clients, including qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering reliable data collection and analysis to support marketing strategies. Their clientele includes research companies, consultants, and public/private organizations, indicating a diversified customer base. Membership in recognized industry associations like ESOMAR and EphMRA enhances credibility and market positioning. The company appears to be small-sized with no publicly indicated parent or subsidiary entities. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and a clear service catalog. Partnerships are limited to industry memberships and LinkedIn presence, with no detected external business partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent modal is present, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected, and no sensitive data exposure was found in the HTML content. The site lacks advanced security features and could benefit from implementing best practices to mitigate risks such as clickjacking, cross-site scripting, and data leakage. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Develop and publish a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack with jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap Icons, Boxicons, FontAwesome, Animate.css, and AOS for animations. The HTML structure is valid and includes proper meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). The site is mobile-optimized with responsive navigation menus and accessible language switching features. Performance is moderate, with deferred JavaScript loading and optimized CSS usage. No CMS or backend platform was detected from the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic usability standards. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
