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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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

Gateway & Partners operates in the niche of export promotion and international market entry consulting, targeting SMEs and agencies in Europe and beyond. Their business model centers on providing tailored consulting, market intelligence, and matchmaking services to facilitate export growth. The company leverages a broad consultant network and extensive databases to deliver value. Testimonials from reputable organizations and a 20-year track record indicate strong market positioning and client trust. The firm’s digital presence supports lead generation and client engagement through multilingual content and subscription forms. Growth indicators include active news updates and participation in international events. The partnership ecosystem includes collaborations with export agencies and clusters, enhancing service reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure contact forms. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security or incident response policy represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent banner, which may expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in headers, incident response communication, and cookie management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about tracking.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and host a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and Contact Form 7 for forms. It uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site loads asynchronously optimized scripts and uses responsive design with CSS media queries for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The technical stack is modern and standard for SME consulting firms, but there is opportunity to improve security headers and cookie management. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
