The website demonstrates a generally strong technical security foundation in areas such as email security, SSL/TLS configuration, and network security, with module scores mostly above 90%. However, significant gaps exist in compliance with regulatory frameworks (GDPR and NIS2), reflected by low scores and multiple high- and medium-severity issues. Notably, the absence of essential security headers and critical documentation such as incident response and security policies exposes the business to increased risk of data breaches and regulatory penalties. The lack of a cookie consent banner and incomplete privacy policy raises potential legal and reputational risks under GDPR. Furthermore, missing NIS2 compliance elements indicate inadequate preparedness against cyber threats and incidents. Overall, while technical controls are solid, governance, compliance, and policy frameworks require urgent attention to reduce exposure and align with regulatory obligations. Addressing these gaps will enhance risk management, protect customer data, and strengthen stakeholder trust.

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
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 10 issues across 5 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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 notes
Notes
Critical findings include absence of the X-Frame-Options header, which leaves the site vulnerable to clickjacking attacks, and missing X-XSS-Protection header, reducing protection against cross-site scripting. GDPR compliance is weak, with no cookie consent banner and an incomplete privacy policy, risking non-compliance fines. NIS2-related deficiencies are severe: no information security framework, security policies, incident response procedures, or security contacts are in place, severely impacting the ability to detect, respond, and recover from cyber incidents. DNSSEC is not enabled, exposing DNS queries to potential tampering. Although SSL/TLS and email security configurations are strong, these governance and policy gaps present the highest risk to business continuity and regulatory compliance.
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.
