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

5 findings 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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';…
  3. 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

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

Icareus operates in the media and technology sectors, focusing on B2B SaaS and broadcast equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in combining broadcast and broadband expertise to deliver hybrid video services. Revenue streams likely include platform subscriptions, broadcast equipment sales, and professional services. The target customers are broadcasters, content owners, sports federations, and enterprises needing video communication solutions. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with localized sites and a dedicated helpdesk. Growth indicators include a long domain age, extensive customer base, and active participation in industry events. Strategic observations highlight the company's focus on innovation in video delivery and monetization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status prevents unauthorized transfers. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance awareness. However, the absence of a Content-Security-Policy header and security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and mitigation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of explicit contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business context but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Enfold theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Zoho CRM Forms, and Leadfeeder for marketing and analytics. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, likely providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and limited accessibility features. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance compliance with evolving web standards.
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.
