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

GeneXus is an established enterprise low-code software development platform powered by AI, with over 35 years of market presence and a global customer base. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools including AI assistants, business process management, code generators, and testing frameworks, targeting enterprises, ISVs, startups, and students. Technically, the website is hosted on Microsoft IIS with ASP.NET and uses AWS CloudFront CDN, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and content-rich, but suffers from a critical security issue due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which severely impacts its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are not explicitly found, indicating potential compliance gaps. Overall, the site demonstrates strong business credibility and technical maturity but requires urgent security improvements.

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. 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

    • 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, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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.

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

GeneXus operates in the technology sector with a focus on AI-powered low-code development platforms. It leverages partnerships, notably with Globant as its parent company, and maintains a strong ecosystem including academic and solution partners. The business model is developer-license based without runtime fees, emphasizing ownership of source code by customers. The company targets a broad audience from students to large enterprises, positioning itself as a future-proof, technology-agnostic solution provider. The presence of testimonials, success stories, and high ratings on software review platforms reinforces its market credibility. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear calls to action for trials, demos, and training.

Security posture

The website implements several security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines user trust and data protection. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records further weakens domain security. No explicit incident response or security policy information is found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Cookie security flags are partially applied. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate remediation to meet industry standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and correctly configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and modern TLS protocols (1.2 and 1.3).
  2. Implement and publish clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security and prevent certificate misuse.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Review and enhance cookie security flags and ensure all forms and data collection points are secured and privacy compliant.
Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Microsoft IIS 10 with ASP.NET 2.0, served through AWS CloudFront CDN, and uses GXportal CMS. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is content-rich with embedded YouTube videos and multiple navigation menus. Performance data indicates zero load time and resource count, likely due to incomplete measurement or caching. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported with meta tags and Open Graph data. The invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and risk. The site lacks JSON-LD structured data which could improve SEO and semantic understanding.
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.
