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

4 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

Business profile

Growens holds a leadership position in the marketing technology industry, focusing on cloud software and predictive marketing automation. The company has demonstrated organic growth with a 20% sales CAGR from 2019 to 2022 and has expanded globally with clients in over 115 countries. Its business model includes SaaS offerings and mobile messaging services, supported by acquisitions to enhance capabilities. The company maintains active investor relations and transparent corporate governance. Partnerships and subsidiaries like Agile Telecom and Beefree diversify its service portfolio. The presence of certifications and awards signals a commitment to quality and sustainability. The company targets organizations seeking effective customer communication solutions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and implements a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. Anti-clickjacking measures are present. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, and no security.txt file was found. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact details to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging of form submissions and user interactions to detect potential abuse.

It uses jQuery, Google Analytics, Matomo Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and CookieHub for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and content discoverability. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly stated but the site uses Cloudflare services for bot management and CDN. Overall, the technical 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.
