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.

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
The company holds a strong market position as a trusted provider of workplace culture certification and research. Its business model revolves around delivering surveys, certifications, and expert advice to organizations. The target audience includes HR professionals and organizational leaders aiming to enhance workplace culture. The presence of multiple international partner domains and extensive client logos indicates a broad partnership ecosystem and market reach. The company leverages digital marketing tools and analytics to engage and grow its customer base. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via forms, enhancing data privacy. The company’s branding and content quality support a high level of business credibility.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML source, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The site lacks publicly visible security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Marketo introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced header policies and transparency in security governance.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels.
Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies.
Enhance accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards.
Improve transparency by providing more detailed company contact information and WHOIS data if possible.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 3.4.0 and uses jQuery, Video.js, and Select2 libraries. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing automation via Marketo. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with caching enabled and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site lacks visible security headers and detailed hosting provider information. The technical stack is modern but could be updated to newer Bootstrap versions and enhanced with stronger security configurations. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
