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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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 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

ESI operates in the technology sector focusing on digital transformation services for medium-sized businesses and enterprises primarily in Canada. The company has a long-standing market presence since 1994 and maintains a strong reputation as evidenced by a high Net Promoter Score (+93) and notable client logos. Its business model combines professional services, managed services, and technology solutions, enabling end-to-end IT modernization. The partnership with Penega and certifications like ISO 27001 reinforce its market position. The company actively engages its audience through blogs and resources, indicating a growth-oriented and customer-centric approach. Contact channels are diverse and clearly presented, supporting strong customer engagement and support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, anti-clickjacking scripts, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates adherence to recognized security standards. However, explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security are not detected and could be implemented to enhance protection. Forms include anti-spam measures like honeypot fields. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were identified in the analysis. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be further strengthened by publishing security policies and enhancing HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security HTTP headers to improve browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to increase transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures by detailing data retention policies and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and Visitor Queue for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The technical implementation is robust with no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security and privacy documentation to reduce technical risks and enhance trust.
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.
