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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

The company operates in the workplace culture and HR services sector, offering employee surveys, certification, and support to a large international client base. Its market position is strong as a recognized global authority. The business model revolves around service delivery and certification, targeting medium to large enterprises seeking to improve employee experience and employer branding. The website reflects a mature digital presence with marketing tools like Marketo and analytics via Google Tag Manager. Partnerships and client logos indicate a broad ecosystem. Growth indicators include multilingual support and extensive country selectors. Strategic observations suggest a focus on thought leadership and brand trust through research publications and testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is implemented with user controls, indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) were detected in the provided data. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may reduce transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational site but could be improved by publishing security policies, implementing security headers, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Consider providing direct contact information for security or abuse reporting to facilitate incident handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 3.4.0 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Video.js for media playback, and Select2 for enhanced form controls. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management, and Enzuzo provides cookie consent and privacy management. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets with versioning for cache control. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good with responsive layouts and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for the business needs.
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.
