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 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. 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

  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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

HG Insights operates in the technology sector, targeting B2B companies seeking advanced market intelligence and revenue growth solutions. Their business model centers on providing AI-enhanced data services including market sizing, technographics, and account prioritization. The company is positioned as a leader in technology intelligence with a focus on enabling sales and marketing effectiveness. Founded in 2019, HG Insights has built a medium-sized enterprise with a consistent brand and strong social media presence. The website content and structured data emphasize their expertise and comprehensive data sources. Marketing and analytics integrations suggest a sophisticated lead generation and customer engagement strategy. No suspicious or privacy-protected domain registrations were found, supporting legitimacy. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies is a gap in compliance and transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain status locks to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, and no incident response contacts are provided. The site uses multiple third-party marketing and tracking scripts, which increases the attack surface but no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and improving privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and uses a variety of modern marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Marketo, AdRoll, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Hosting is provided by Amazon AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No critical technical vulnerabilities were found. The technical stack supports the business model well but should be monitored for third-party script risks and updated regularly to maintain security and performance.
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.
