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

EQS Group GmbH is a well-established German technology company founded in 2000, specializing in compliance, corporate governance, ESG reporting, and investor relations solutions. Their business model focuses on providing SaaS platforms and services to regulated companies and compliance professionals, positioning themselves as a trusted partner in the European market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and strong SEO implementation. Technically, the site leverages WordPress CMS, modern lazy loading scripts, HubSpot forms, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, indicating a robust and modern infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, but the absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces domain registration transparency and trust slightly.

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 operates in the technology sector, targeting corporate clients needing compliance, whistleblower protection, ESG, and investor relations solutions. Their extensive memberships in compliance and security organizations enhance credibility and market reach. The company offers a broad portfolio of RegTech and SaaS services, indicating diversified revenue streams and a focus on regulated industries. The website content and structured data confirm a medium-sized enterprise with a strong brand and consistent messaging. The presence of multiple language versions and international memberships suggests a pan-European market approach. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS, CSP, and other security headers implemented. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting awareness of data protection regulations. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party marketing and analytics tools is balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced public security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security incident response team.
  4. Enhance transparency by including WHOIS domain registration details or ensuring domain registration data is publicly available.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to maintain privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for optimization, leveraging jQuery and custom lazy loading scripts for performance. It uses HubSpot for form management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with preloading and deferred script loading. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the infrastructure appears stable and secure. Opportunities exist to improve technical transparency around hosting and security certifications.
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.
