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

Elavon Denmark operates as a payment processing service provider, offering secure and efficient payment solutions for businesses of all sizes. The company supports a wide range of payment methods including Visa, MasterCard, and mobile payment options, serving over 1.3 million customers globally. Their market position is strong within the financial services sector, with a focus on international and multi-channel payment processing. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern web technologies and multimedia content to engage users. The site is mobile optimized and includes standard privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent, though lacking explicit security policies and some security headers. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the overall business credibility remains high due to professional content and clear contact information.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. Security headers

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319

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

Elavon targets a broad business audience including SMEs and large enterprises, providing payment solutions that facilitate international trade and multi-channel transactions. Their business model centers on payment processing fees and value-added services such as reporting and analytics. The company benefits from a global partnership ecosystem and a strong brand presence in Europe. Growth indicators include extensive customer base and multi-country operations. The partnership with U.S. Bank Europe DAC as parent company adds financial stability and regulatory compliance. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence aligned with industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency by ensuring domain registration information is complete and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Brightcove for video content delivery. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with optimized images and structured content. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. There is no indication of technical debt or legacy technologies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found but the infrastructure appears professionally managed.
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.
