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

Huwise is a technology company specializing in providing a SaaS data product marketplace solution that enables organizations to centralize, manage, and share their data assets securely and interactively. The company targets data leaders, business teams, IT leaders, and CSR/ESG leaders across sectors such as energy, transport, banking, and government. Their market position is strong, supported by Gartner citations, a high NPS score, and a client base of over 350 organizations. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, multimedia, and customer testimonials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. It integrates Matomo for analytics and Axeptio for cookie consent, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and SEO-friendly. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and incident response disclosures. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern and should be investigated to confirm domain registration legitimacy. Overall, Huwise presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility. The main risk lies in the missing WHOIS information, which impacts domain trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing incident response contacts, and verifying domain registration status.

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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

Huwise operates in the data technology sector, offering a comprehensive data product marketplace platform that supports data governance, AI readiness, and data monetization. Their competitive advantages include a feature-rich platform with AI-enhanced search, metadata management, and integration capabilities. The business model is SaaS-based, targeting medium to large enterprises with a focus on sectors like energy, government, and finance. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions and professional services. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem with dedicated community and user guide platforms. Growth indicators include a high NPS score and multiple customer success stories. The company emphasizes innovation, data culture, and operational efficiency in its strategic positioning.

Security posture

Huwise demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Axeptio. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish an incident response page or contact email to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trust.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to align with evolving GDPR and data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It leverages third-party libraries such as Swiper and Slick for carousels and animations. Analytics are handled by Matomo, a privacy-focused tool, and cookie consent is managed by Axeptio. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and incident response mechanisms to reduce technical risks.
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.
