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

6 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 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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, 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

Factorial operates in the technology sector, focusing on HR and business management software. Its business model is SaaS, targeting medium to large enterprises across various industries. The company leverages AI and automation to enhance recruitment, time tracking, payroll, and financial management. Its competitive advantages include a comprehensive product suite, localized market understanding, and a strong client base. The company maintains partnerships through dedicated subdomains for help and careers, indicating a structured ecosystem. Growth indicators include extensive client logos and positive reviews. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance documentation and incident response transparency to further solidify trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear to be securely implemented with input validation. However, the absence of explicit incident response policies and security contact information represents a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is partially indicated through cookie consent mechanisms but lacks comprehensive privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage footer.
  2. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated security contact emails.
  3. Enhance GDPR compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve transparency around data protection officer contact details and security certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React with Next.js framework and DatoCMS for content management. It employs Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, featuring responsive design and fast loading times. SEO best practices are observed with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and user engagement effectively. Opportunities exist to further enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed technical documentation for compliance purposes.
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.
