Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Fusion Broadband South Africa (Pty) Ltd operates the website fusionsdwan.co.za, offering a global secure multi-tenanted SD-WAN cloud solution tailored for Managed Services Providers (MSPs). The company provides advanced connectivity services including bandwidth aggregation, firewall agnostic options, voice quality of service, and management portals. Their business model focuses on partnering with MSPs as white label partners or resellers, targeting technology and telecommunications sectors primarily in South Africa. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern plugins and analytics tools, demonstrating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks published security policies and advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic improvements in privacy transparency and security practices would enhance trust and compliance.

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

10 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

The company positions itself as a specialized SD-WAN provider for MSPs with a global footprint evidenced by over 200 MSPs and thousands of customers. Their competitive advantage lies in proprietary portals for network management and analytics, flexible firewall and ISP agnostic solutions, and partner white labelling capabilities. Revenue streams likely derive from monthly fixed service pricing per site and partner/reseller agreements. The target customer segment includes MSPs and businesses seeking advanced network control. The partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The company is relatively new (founded 2021) but shows growth potential in the SD-WAN market niche.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating baseline security hygiene. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were observed in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no GDPR-related disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure practices are not evident. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details to improve privacy transparency.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information including security contact emails.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Salient theme and WPBakery page builder, supplemented by Slider Revolution and various JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Select2, and Magnific Popup. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking and marketing. Hosting is provided by xneelo (Pty) Ltd, a reputable South African hosting provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection on forms. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced SEO and security configurations.
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.
