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. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

GoTo operates in the technology sector, focusing on business communications and collaboration software. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS, offering products such as GoTo Connect, GoTo Meeting, GoTo Webinar, and GoTo Training. The company targets enterprise and medium to large businesses across various industries including education, healthcare, retail, and government. The presence of multiple product lines and integration with LogMeIn services indicates a broad partnership ecosystem and diversified revenue streams. The website's content and structure emphasize customer engagement, ease of use, and reliability, which are key competitive advantages. Growth indicators include extensive customer testimonials, case studies, and a strong marketing presence with active social media channels.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is good, with HTTPS enabled and encrypted sessions for user interactions. The site implements cookie consent banners compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. There are no visible exposed credentials or sensitive data in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security posture supports business operations but could benefit from additional best practices and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address, to facilitate communication in case of security events.
  4. Expand documentation on certifications and compliance frameworks to strengthen trust and demonstrate adherence to industry standards.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including a .NET backend SDK, JavaScript frameworks, and multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and consent management. Performance is optimized with font preloading and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as keyboard navigation and ARIA roles. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema for product information. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and user-friendly experience, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to enhance security headers and provide more transparency on backend infrastructure and compliance certifications.
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.
