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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

The business operates within the government sector, providing essential insurance and risk mitigation services. Its business model combines mandatory insurance with value-added advisory and support services, leveraging partnerships with related insurance and information platforms. The presence of multiple partner domains and a clear contact infrastructure indicates a mature operational ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a professional approach aimed at building trust and facilitating user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The use of reputable third-party services like Adobe Launch and Cookiebot further supports a secure and privacy-conscious environment.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to formalize security communication.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and tracking for improved privacy compliance.
  5. Continue to optimize website performance and accessibility to maintain high user experience standards.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript ES6+, CSS, and HTML5. It integrates Adobe Launch for tag management and Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting appears to leverage CDN services for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization. The technical setup supports the business goals effectively while maintaining compliance and security standards.
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.
