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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without 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

Factorial's market positioning as a unicorn with rapid growth and a broad customer base indicates a successful SaaS business model with modular pricing tailored to client needs. The company targets multiple user roles including HR managers, CFOs, managers, and employees, offering tailored solutions for each. Its partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major platforms such as Slack, LinkedIn, Google Workspace, Zapier, and others, enhancing its value proposition. The website content and structured data reveal a focus on automation, efficiency, and digital transformation in HR and financial processes. The presence of detailed FAQs, testimonials, and certifications further strengthens its credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, contributing to a strong security baseline. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of secure forms indicate adherence to best practices. However, the lack of an explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The company’s certifications (ISO 27001, AICPA SOC) demonstrate a commitment to recognized security standards. Overall, the security posture is robust but could benefit from enhanced communication of security policies and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy team.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and periodic security audits to uphold compliance and security standards.

The use of DatoCMS for content management supports efficient content updates and scalability.

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.
