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

initOS positions itself as a niche IT consulting and software development firm specializing in open-source ERP solutions, particularly Odoo. Their business model revolves around providing strategic IT consulting, custom software development, and ongoing IT operations support to SMEs. The company leverages open-source technologies to deliver cost-effective and flexible digitalization solutions. Their client base includes recognized brands and they emphasize agile working methodologies and training. The company maintains active social media presence on Twitter and Instagram, enhancing brand visibility. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from their market credibility. The website content and references to client projects indicate a stable and growing business with a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy and security regulations. No critical security headers were explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security configurations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information, which are recommended for enhanced security posture and transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with key strengths in encrypted communications and privacy compliance, but with opportunities to formalize security governance and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance security transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math PRO plugin, and GDPR compliance is managed via Borlabs Cookie plugin. The site loads with moderate performance and is well optimized for mobile devices. Structured data in JSON-LD format is implemented for organization, website, and article schema, improving search engine visibility. No hosting provider details were discernible from the content. The technical stack is current and supports a professional digital presence, though performance tuning and security header enhancements could be beneficial.
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.
