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

3 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 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';…
  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

HelpDesk operates in the technology sector, targeting businesses requiring efficient customer support and ticket management. Its SaaS business model includes free trials and subscription plans, supported by a network of partner products such as LiveChat and ChatBot. The company leverages integrations with popular platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot to enhance its offering. Positive user reviews and consistent branding reinforce its market position. The parent company, Text, Inc., is based in the US with additional offices in Poland, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with international reach. The website's content strategy and marketing tools suggest a focus on growth and customer acquisition through digital channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes key security headers, reflecting a solid baseline security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Enhancing security documentation and incident response readiness would strengthen the overall security culture and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by appointing and disclosing a Data Protection Officer contact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot analytics. It is a web application optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices such as canonical links, meta tags, and structured data (JSON-LD). The site integrates multiple partner services and marketplaces, indicating a complex but well-managed infrastructure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by numerous third-party scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable online presence with opportunities to optimize performance and security further.
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.
