0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Factorsixty GmbH is a specialized consulting firm focused on usability engineering, UX research, accessibility, and user-centered design for complex and critical systems. Their market position is that of a niche expert serving regulated industries such as energy, telecommunications, insurance, healthcare, and government sectors. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including accessibility compliance audits, usability testing, human factors risk assessments, design thinking, and UX strategy consulting. Founded around 2020, Factorsixty targets businesses requiring high standards of usability and accessibility to meet legal and operational requirements. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and leverages Yoast SEO for optimization. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness, accessibility considerations, and moderate performance. No major analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency, which impacts trustworthiness. However, the website content is professional, detailed, and consistent with the company's stated expertise. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers, explicit contact information, and formal security policies. Strategically, Factorsixty should verify domain registration status to enhance trust, implement security best practices such as CSP and HSTS headers, and provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels. These steps will strengthen their security posture and business credibility in a competitive market.

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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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.

Business context

Business profile

Factorsixty GmbH operates in a specialized consulting niche focusing on usability, UX, and accessibility for complex systems across multiple regulated sectors including energy, telecoms, insurance, healthcare, and government. Their competitive advantage lies in ISO certifications and deep expertise in human factors and risk assessment. The business model is service-based consulting targeting B2B clients who require compliance with accessibility laws and high usability standards. Revenue streams likely come from audits, research projects, consulting engagements, and turnkey solutions. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused target audience of enterprises needing critical system usability expertise. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related or subsidiary domains are identified. Growth indicators include a well-structured website with comprehensive service offerings and a focus on compliance and innovation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner, demonstrating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, no advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism published on the site. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels for security incidents. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, as it reduces transparency and may indicate domain registration issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policies, and transparency to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish explicit security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure guidelines on the website.
  4. Add clear company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which is a widely used and flexible framework. It uses jQuery and SurveyJS libraries for interactive elements. SEO is enhanced with the Yoast SEO plugin, and the site includes structured data in JSON-LD format for improved search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with optimized images and responsive design. Accessibility is addressed with ARIA roles and screen reader text, reflecting the company's focus on usability and accessibility. However, the lack of advanced security headers and absence of analytics or tracking tools suggest a minimalistic approach to data collection and security hardening. Hosting provider details are not evident from the source. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
