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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Harviist positions itself as a niche SaaS provider in the marketing technology sector, leveraging referral and interactive campaigns to help businesses increase customer engagement and lead generation. The business model is subscription-based SaaS targeting small to medium businesses in various sectors. The company demonstrates consistent branding and maintains active social media channels to support marketing efforts. The partnership with Booking With Kids indicates a strategic alliance to expand reach. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's founding date, supporting legitimacy. However, the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit immediate trust for some users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers, enhancing protection against common web attacks. Forms use AJAX with JSON content-type, reducing risk of injection attacks. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure processes represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding formal policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive Terms of Service page to clarify user agreements.
  2. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan with contact details.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to increase trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Visual Composer for page building, integrating modern technologies such as WebP image optimization and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The tech stack includes Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. Performance is moderate with some caching and optimization plugins evident. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Technical risks are minimal, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
