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

ESP Inspire is a California-based digital and business solutions provider established in 2001, offering a broad range of enterprise services including web and mobile development, AI, SaaS platforms, cybersecurity, and digital marketing. The company targets enterprises, SMBs, and startups globally, positioning itself as a trusted partner with over two decades of experience and strategic alliances across multiple regions. Their website demonstrates a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive service offerings, and strong SEO and marketing integrations. Technically, the site employs modern frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools, and uses security best practices such as HTTPS and CAPTCHA on forms. However, the absence of WHOIS data and domain registration details introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy. Privacy compliance is addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, ESP Inspire presents a credible and professional business front with room for improvement in security headers and privacy 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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

  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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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 · 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

ESP Inspire operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital transformation services for a diverse client base including government, finance, retail, healthcare, and more. Their business model revolves around delivering customized digital solutions and outsourcing IT resources. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiaries to expand its service portfolio. Their market positioning is supported by positive client testimonials and presence on reputable review platforms. Revenue streams likely include project-based services, maintenance packages, and digital marketing campaigns. The company shows growth potential through its broad service range and global alliances, though domain registration inconsistencies warrant further verification.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. Multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts are used, which increases the attack surface and requires ongoing monitoring. No explicit security headers were detected, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which are areas for improvement. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but lacking in advanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user trust and legal compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries or tracking tools.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure registration transparency and strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and responsive design built on Bootstrap 4.6 with jQuery and Popper.js for UI interactions. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Mouseflow, and Statcounter, indicating a strong focus on user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. Forms are protected with Google reCAPTCHA v2 to prevent spam. Lazy loading of images improves performance. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and cookie consent are missing technical gaps.
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.
