0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Highsoft AS is a Norwegian technology company specializing in interactive JavaScript charting libraries under the Highcharts brand. Founded in 2009, it has established itself as a market leader by providing high-quality, accessible, and adaptable data visualization tools for a broad range of industries and devices. The company offers a suite of products including Highcharts Core, Stock, Maps, Gantt, dashboards, and add-ons, supported by a strong commitment to customer service and sustainability. Their market position is reinforced by certifications such as Eco-Lighthouse and membership in the UN Global Compact, reflecting corporate responsibility and environmental awareness. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, including jQuery and Bootstrap, and integrates tools like Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, with comprehensive SEO and structured navigation. Security is robust with HTTPS, multiple security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism, although explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms could be improved. Overall, the security posture is strong with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. The business credibility is high, supported by transparent company information and trust indicators. The website content is safe for general audiences, professional, and well maintained. Strategically, Highsoft should consider enhancing its incident response transparency and adopting a formal vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen trust and security readiness. Continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and maintaining compliance with evolving privacy regulations will support sustained market leadership.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Highsoft AS operates in the technology sector, focusing on software licensing and support for interactive charting solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its early market entry, comprehensive product suite, and commitment to accessibility and sustainability. Revenue streams likely include software licenses, support contracts, and custom projects. The target customers are developers and enterprises requiring advanced data visualization. Growth is indicated by product expansion and international presence. Partnerships include distributors and integration with popular frameworks. The company maintains a transparent and ethical business culture, enhancing its reputation and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and privacy compliance tools like Cookiebot. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact details and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability management and incident handling. Data protection practices align with GDPR, supported by clear privacy and cookie policies. The security culture is proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information on the website.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and processing policies.
  5. Continue investing in accessibility and sustainability initiatives to strengthen brand trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in script loading and caching. The technical infrastructure is stable and aligns with industry best practices, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
