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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Exasol operates in the technology sector, focusing on analytics engines that serve a broad range of industries including banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, and hedge funds. Their business model combines free community editions with paid enterprise solutions, targeting organizations seeking high-speed analytics and AI/ML integration. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a strong ecosystem presence with documented customer success stories and industry-specific use cases. Growth indicators include active content updates, training resources, and developer engagement through GitHub and community forums. The company emphasizes cost optimization and sovereignty-first cloud strategies, positioning itself competitively in the analytics market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of DNSSEC is noted as an area for improvement. Security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly observed and should be added to enhance protection. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, which could limit transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the site follows good security practices but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance browser security.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Continue maintaining cookie consent and privacy compliance with regular audits to ensure GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and Plyr for video playback. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are used for analytics and consent management respectively. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness. SEO is enhanced through Yoast SEO plugin and structured JSON-LD data. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configuration for enhanced resilience.
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.
