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

Epos Now is a technology company specializing in point of sale (POS) software and hardware solutions primarily for retail and hospitality sectors. The analyzed login page serves as a secure access point for customers to manage their accounts and services. The company leverages modern authentication methods including Google and Apple OAuth sign-ins, enhancing user convenience and security. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence and a professional design tailored to its business audience. From a technical perspective, the site employs contemporary JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and Ada Support for customer assistance. The infrastructure supports HTTPS with CSRF protection on forms, indicating a solid baseline security posture. However, explicit security headers and privacy-related policies are not present on this page, which could be improved to enhance compliance and user trust. Security-wise, the site shows good practices with secure form handling and multi-factor sign-in options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data for the subdomain is typical for login portals and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and policy disclosures. The overall risk assessment is moderate with recommendations to publish privacy and cookie policies, implement security headers, and provide clear incident response contacts. These steps would improve compliance with GDPR and other regulations, bolster user confidence, and strengthen the security culture of the platform.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Epos Now operates in the competitive POS technology market, targeting retail and hospitality businesses that require reliable and user-friendly transaction management systems. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS and hardware sales, supported by cloud-based account management. The company’s integration with major identity providers like Google and Apple reflects a strategic approach to ease of access and security. While the login page itself does not reveal detailed revenue streams or partnerships, the presence of support documentation and branded assets indicates a mature operational structure. The company likely maintains a medium-sized market presence with a focus on customer retention through service quality and technological integration.

Security posture

The security maturity of the Epos Now login portal is solid, with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented to protect against common web attacks. The use of OAuth providers adds an additional layer of security and convenience. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No direct evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data was found. Compliance indicators such as privacy and cookie policies are missing from this page, which could be a gap in GDPR adherence. Incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are also absent, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting comprehensive security headers and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies linked from the login page.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add visible incident response and security contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to support users with disabilities.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integration of third-party services such as Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing and analytics, Google Identity Services for OAuth, and Apple Sign-In SDK. The presence of CSRF tokens and password toggle functionality indicates attention to secure and user-friendly form design. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is directly discernible from the HTML. The technical stack is appropriate for a mid-sized SaaS provider but could benefit from additional security hardening and SEO enhancements.
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.
