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

NAVEX Global operates a professional and comprehensive anonymous incident reporting platform branded as EthicsPoint®, targeting organizations worldwide to facilitate confidential reporting of unethical or illegal activities. The website is well-structured, supports multiple languages, and emphasizes user anonymity and confidentiality, aligning with its business mission. The platform is positioned as a trusted service provider in the ethics and compliance sector, supported by certifications such as SAS70 Type II and TRUSTe privacy seals. Technically, the site uses classic ASP with jQuery 3.7.1, indicating a mature but somewhat dated technology stack. The site performs moderately well with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security practices include HTTPS usage and form input protections, though explicit security headers and advanced cookie consent mechanisms are not evident. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but justified by privacy protection consistent with the service's confidentiality requirements. Security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and enhancing incident response contact transparency. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies linked, though explicit consent mechanisms could be enhanced. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional front with room for technical and security maturity improvements.

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.

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

NAVEX Global is positioned as a leading provider of ethics and compliance reporting services, offering anonymous hotline solutions to a global client base. Its business model focuses on SaaS-based incident reporting platforms that enable organizations to manage ethical concerns confidentially. The company targets corporate clients, compliance officers, and employees seeking secure reporting channels. NAVEX's market presence is reinforced by its certifications and privacy seals, enhancing trust. The multilingual support indicates a broad international reach. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and related compliance services. The absence of direct contact information on the page suggests a controlled communication channel, emphasizing anonymity and confidentiality. Strategic partnerships with privacy certification bodies further strengthen its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and secure form handling practices. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of an explicit incident response contact or published vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency. Privacy policies and cookie statements are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection requirements. Overall, the security culture appears mature but would benefit from formalizing incident response and vulnerability management disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  3. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Introduce an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on classic ASP technology with client-side jQuery 3.7.1, reflecting a stable but dated technical stack. The HTML structure is valid with appropriate meta tags for charset and viewport. Performance is moderate, with no evident heavy scripts or resources. The site lacks advanced CMS or modern frameworks, which may limit scalability and modernization. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
