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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

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 targets SMEs seeking to digitize and optimize HR and financial workflows, leveraging a modular SaaS model with customizable plans. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating AI capabilities, extensive third-party app connectivity, and a user-friendly platform that supports multiple languages and regions. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for core and enterprise modules, with upselling through add-ons and integrations. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with major platforms and payment processors, enhancing its market reach and service offerings. Growth indicators include a large customer base (over 13,000 companies), high app ratings, and active marketing presence. Strategic observations highlight Factorial's focus on scalability, localization, and continuous innovation through Factorial Labs.

Security posture

Factorial exhibits a strong security maturity level, evidenced by industry-standard certifications (ISO 27001, AICPA SOC), HTTPS enforcement, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the absence of publicly available incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The security culture appears proactive, integrating security considerations into product design and operations. Business impact of potential vulnerabilities is mitigated by these controls, but explicit communication channels for security incidents would enhance trust and response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy page with clear contact information.
  2. Include data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  3. Regularly review and audit third-party integrations to ensure ongoing security and compliance.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies within privacy documentation.
  5. Explicitly implement and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.

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.
