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

4 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 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

  3. 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 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

Factorial operates in the technology sector, focusing on HR software solutions delivered via SaaS. Their market positioning is that of an established mid-sized company with a clear value proposition around automation and ease of use. The company’s revenue streams likely include subscription fees for software licenses. Their target customers are SMEs and HR professionals seeking to streamline administrative tasks. The company maintains a consistent partnership ecosystem and uses advanced marketing tools to optimize user engagement. Growth indicators include active A/B testing and multi-language support, indicating international ambitions. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and multiple security headers present. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The company should consider publishing these to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but can be improved by formalizing policies and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. It uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and marketing optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloads critical assets for performance. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting details are not explicit but performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization. The site uses DNSSEC and HTTPS with good security headers, reflecting attention to security best practices. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and formal security documentation are recommended.
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.
