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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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 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

HeroShift targets a niche market within healthcare and emergency services, offering SaaS solutions that leverage automation and AI for workforce management. The business model is subscription-based with a focus on digital transformation in regulated environments. The company positions itself as a modern, efficient alternative to manual scheduling and communication methods. Partnerships with aiddevs.com and presence on major app stores indicate a growing ecosystem. The lack of direct contact information on the website suggests a focus on demo scheduling and controlled customer onboarding. The company emphasizes GDPR compliance and German data protection standards, which is critical for its target audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks advanced security headers and does not provide public security policies or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, limiting external security engagement. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities to enhance compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR cookie regulations.
  2. Publish a comprehensive terms of service and security policy page to improve transparency.
  3. Add incident response contact information and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor user engagement and improve UX.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and jQuery UI libraries. The site loads multiple optimized images and uses responsive design techniques for mobile compatibility. Performance is moderate, with no obvious technical debt or deprecated technologies. The absence of heavy tracking or advertising scripts suggests a clean technical implementation focused on user experience and privacy. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from additional SEO metadata and structured data to improve search visibility.
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.
