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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Idox Plc operates primarily in the government software sector, offering specialized solutions that address regulatory services, asset management, public protection, and data intelligence. Their business model revolves around providing software-as-a-service and on-premises solutions to public sector entities and industries requiring compliance and operational efficiency. The company has a broad target audience including government agencies and industry sectors such as health, transport, and education. Their partnership with N+ONE Datacenters for regional data center expansion in Morocco indicates strategic growth and regional market penetration. The website content and structured data confirm a large, established company with a clear focus on technology-driven government solutions. Trust indicators such as privacy statements, cookie policies, and corporate social responsibility documents enhance their credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The use of privacy and cookie management tools indicates compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential risks. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the analyzed content, suggesting a mature security approach but with room for improvement in formal security disclosures and header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Create and make accessible a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance form security by integrating CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent automated abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, a widely adopted and feature-rich framework. It employs modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is optimized for performance with WP Rocket and uses lazy loading for images and videos. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed, contributing to a positive user experience. The technical infrastructure appears robust and scalable, with strategic use of external services for marketing and analytics. However, hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed, and there is an opportunity to improve security through enhanced HTTP headers and formal security documentation.
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.
