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

4 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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Enghouse Networks holds a strong market position as a major player in the global communications software market, leveraging acquisitions like Espial to expand its cloud-based video and IPTV solutions. The business model is B2B, focusing on software and managed services for network operators and service providers. The company’s portfolio covers multiple sectors including telecommunications, media, and technology. The website content and structure indicate a focus on enterprise clients and service providers, with detailed product and solution offerings. The presence of marketing tools and analytics suggests active customer engagement and lead generation strategies. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly identified, supporting a robust ecosystem. The company demonstrates consistent branding and professional content quality.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security best practices observed, including cookie consent management, bot detection, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates areas for improvement. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Bot Management to mitigate automated threats. Security headers are assumed present based on standard WordPress configurations and HTTPS usage. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible Terms of Service page to improve legal transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and well-maintained technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, CookieYes for consent management, and marketing tools like Marketo and Calendly. The site uses UberMenu and ShiftNav for navigation, and WPBakery Page Builder for content layout. Performance is moderate with preloading of scripts and styles, lazy loading of images, and responsive design for mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely managed by Enghouse or a professional hosting provider. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional corporate website.
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.
