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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. 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

Hieroglifs International operates as a service provider in the translation and localization industry, targeting businesses requiring multilingual communication solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in specialization across multiple industries and offering a full suite of translation-related services. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based translation services and related linguistic offerings. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem evidenced by social media presence and client testimonials. Growth indicators include multi-country offices and a broad client portfolio. Strategic observations suggest a focus on quality, client trust, and expanding service offerings to maintain market relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF token usage. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security incidents. Data protection practices are partially addressed via privacy and cookie policies, but no explicit data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. The absence of these elements indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other security frameworks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and appointing a Data Protection Officer if applicable.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards and enhance user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and utilizes Laravel on the backend, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. Integration of Google Tag Manager facilitates analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and SEO optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting is via Namecheap, Inc, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Technical risks are minimal but include the absence of some security headers and limited accessibility features, which could impact compliance and user inclusivity.
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.
