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

9 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

EHD Insurance operates in the insurance sector, targeting businesses and individuals seeking comprehensive insurance solutions. Their business model revolves around brokerage, consulting, and risk management services. The company leverages a strong legacy and community presence to maintain market position. Revenue streams likely include commissions from insurance products and consulting fees. The website indicates a partnership ecosystem including payment processing via AppliedPay and risk management resources linked externally. Growth indicators include a robust content strategy with blogs and resources. Strategic observations suggest a focus on client relationships and tailored insurance solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could impact user trust and compliance with regulations like GDPR or NIS2. The cookie consent mechanism is present but limited, lacking comprehensive user control. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to provide users with granular control over tracking and data collection.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Beaver Builder plugin, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and FontAwesome icons. It integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and HubSpot. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve performance. While the infrastructure appears stable and modern, there is no explicit hosting provider information. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA and screen reader support but could be improved. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing 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.
