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
7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
GPSA operates as a collaborative alliance rather than a single entity, leveraging partnerships with independent firms globally. This model allows them to offer comprehensive services across multiple sectors including audit, tax, legal, and outsourcing. Their market positioning emphasizes trust, quality, and international reach. The company maintains a LinkedIn presence for professional engagement but lacks extensive marketing or advertising tools on the website. The business model focuses on connecting clients with appropriate local partners, supporting growth through collaboration. The company is relatively young, founded in 2017, and maintains a small organizational size with a clear focus on professional services.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. 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 visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and readiness. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices and policies.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is developed using Angular 15, a modern front-end framework, indicating up-to-date technology usage. The hosting uses Microsoft Azure DNS services, which is a reputable provider. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized, providing a good user experience across devices. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization, as no advanced meta tags or structured data beyond basic HTML were detected. The absence of CMS suggests a custom or framework-based site. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhancements in SEO, accessibility, and security headers.
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.
