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

EQS Group operates as a leading provider of compliance, data privacy, and ESG solutions tailored for corporate clients. Their offerings include secure whistleblowing channels, emissions reporting, and privacy safeguards, positioning them as a trusted partner in modern corporate responsibility. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and professional branding, targeting compliance officers, legal departments, and ESG managers globally. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and performance optimizations, including lazy loading and Google Tag Manager integration. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the overall professional presentation and compliance indicators suggest a legitimate and credible business. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and providing direct security contact channels to enhance trust and compliance transparency.

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

2 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.

    • 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

EQS Group is positioned in the technology and finance sectors, focusing on compliance and ESG solutions for enterprises. Their business model revolves around B2B SaaS offerings that address regulatory and sustainability challenges faced by corporations. The company targets a specialized audience including compliance officers and ESG managers, leveraging multi-language capabilities to serve an international market. The website's content quality and branding consistency indicate a well-established market presence. While no direct financial or subsidiary information is disclosed, the site’s professional design and trust signals such as GDPR compliance and structured data usage support their credibility. The integration of marketing tools like HubSpot and Google Analytics suggests active customer engagement and lead generation strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Content Security Policy and lazy loading scripts enhances security and performance. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure channels represents a compliance gap. No direct security contact emails or abuse reporting mechanisms are found, which could hinder incident management and transparency. The site does not expose vulnerable libraries or insecure forms, indicating good development practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ to facilitate incident communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of Yoast SEO for search optimization and HubSpot for form management and marketing automation. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. The site employs Rocket Lazy Load Scripts to optimize loading performance and reduce resource consumption. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized, with good accessibility considerations. No hosting provider details are explicitly found, but the site uses CDN resources for assets. Performance is fast with preloading and preconnect hints implemented. Technical debt appears low, with modern HTML5 and CSS3 usage and no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to further enhance security and accessibility compliance.
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.
