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

IAM is a specialized media and intelligence service focusing on intellectual property as a business asset. The website serves corporate executives, IP professionals, and legal experts with news, analysis, and trade secrets insights. The business operates a subscription-based model providing timely intelligence to inform boardrooms globally. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and integrates advertising and tracking tools such as Google DoubleClick and Hotjar. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the professional site and compliance measures support legitimacy. Overall, IAM presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence in the IP media sector.

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. 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
    • 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

IAM holds a strong niche position in the intellectual property media and intelligence market, targeting a specialized audience of IP and legal professionals. Its business model relies on subscription services and content monetization through advertising partnerships, including with World Trademark Review. The company leverages marketing tools like Pardot for lead generation and user engagement. The website's content quality and branding consistency reinforce its market credibility. However, the absence of explicit company contact details and incomplete WHOIS data suggest areas for transparency improvement. The partnership with related IP media sites indicates a collaborative ecosystem enhancing its market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not explicitly found, representing an opportunity for enhancement. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve its security communication and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration details to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy compliance and cookie consent mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React for UI components, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Font Awesome for icons. Advertising and tracking are managed via Google DoubleClick, Hotjar, and Pardot marketing scripts. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of CSS assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not found in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning and enhanced security headers.
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.
