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

NAVEX Global operates the EthicsPoint platform, providing anonymous and confidential incident reporting services to organizations worldwide. The website serves as a portal for users to file new reports or follow up on existing ones, emphasizing confidentiality and anonymity. NAVEX Global is positioned as a reputable enterprise-level service provider in the ethics and compliance sector, supported by trust seals such as SAS70 Type II and TRUSTe. The site offers extensive multilingual support, enhancing accessibility for a global audience. Technically, the website uses classic ASP pages with JavaScript and jQuery 3.7.1, indicating a mature but somewhat dated technology stack. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with basic accessibility features. Security practices include HTTPS usage and secure form input configurations, though explicit security headers are not evident in the provided data. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly linked, supporting GDPR compliance. The security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers, explicit incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified given the nature of the service. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a good balance of usability and security for its purpose.

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.

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 holds a strong market position as a provider of ethics and compliance reporting solutions, targeting organizations that require confidential incident reporting mechanisms. Their business model centers on SaaS delivery of EthicsPoint, facilitating anonymous reporting to management or boards. The multilingual support and global reach indicate a broad target customer base. The company leverages trust certifications and privacy seals to reinforce credibility. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees from client organizations. The absence of direct contact information on this page suggests a focus on secure, anonymous user interactions rather than direct sales or support. Partnerships with privacy certification bodies like TRUSTe enhance their compliance posture. The platform's design and content reflect a mature, enterprise-grade service with consistent branding and professional presentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and form inputs are configured to reduce data leakage risks (autocomplete off, spellcheck false). However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of explicit incident response contact details and vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and responsiveness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by linked privacy and cookie policies, but no direct evidence of a Data Protection Officer or detailed security frameworks was found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the service type but could be enhanced with modern security best practices and clearer incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.
  4. Incorporate structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata to improve SEO and social media sharing capabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on classic ASP with client-side JavaScript and jQuery 3.7.1, indicating a stable but somewhat legacy technology stack. The site uses standard HTML and CSS with linked stylesheets for layout and language support. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external dependencies detected. The site lacks modern CMS or frameworks and does not use advanced SEO or accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The site is served over HTTPS, but no explicit security headers were found in the provided data. The multilingual navigation is extensive, supporting a wide range of languages, which is a positive technical feature for global reach.
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.
