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

FirstWave operates a cybersecurity-as-a-service platform called CyberCision™, targeting service providers and MSPs to deliver integrated email, web, and firewall security services via a cloud portal. The company positions itself as a leader in network monitoring and cybersecurity services with a global reach, leveraging partnerships with recognized technology providers such as Cisco and Microsoft. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and optimized for user experience and SEO, supporting multiple languages and integrating modern marketing and analytics tools. Technically, the site runs on WordPress hosted on AWS infrastructure with a valid SSL certificate, though it lacks modern TLS protocol support and some security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for security enhancements.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

    • 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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention firstcloudsecurity.net, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for firstcloudsecurity.net right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

FirstWave targets telecommunications carriers, MSPs, and enterprises with a SaaS cybersecurity platform that enables scalable security service delivery. Their business model focuses on multi-tenant virtualization, billing automation, and integration of advanced security technologies. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and emphasizes cost-effective, cloud-delivered security solutions. The website content and testimonials indicate a solid market position and customer trust. Marketing efforts include multilingual support and active social media channels. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a controlled lead generation approach via forms. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on technology and telecommunications sectors.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid Amazon-issued SSL certificate but does not support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3), which is a significant security gap. No HSTS header is enabled, and OCSP stapling is absent, reducing protection against certain attacks. DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published. The site uses secure third-party services for analytics and live chat, with cookie consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires improvements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols on the web server to ensure secure communications.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Configure OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  4. Add DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain name system security.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with Yoast SEO and Weglot for multilingual support, hosted on AWS infrastructure behind Pagely-ARES servers. It integrates Customer.io and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing automation, and uses Tawk.to for live chat support. The site is well-structured with modern fonts and responsive design. Performance metrics are not provided, but the site appears optimized for user experience. Technical debt is minimal, though security protocol support is outdated. Opportunities exist to modernize SSL/TLS configurations and enhance security headers to reduce risk exposure.
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.
