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

ISG is a global AI-centered technology research and IT advisory firm providing comprehensive sourcing, benchmarking, governance, and research services to enterprise clients. The company positions itself as a leader in AI-driven technology advisory, offering SaaS platforms to govern third-party relationships and benchmark IT landscapes. The website content is professionally designed, rich in relevant business information, and targets enterprises seeking operational excellence through technology. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates multiple third-party services, but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which critically impacts security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Social media presence is strong, enhancing trust and engagement. However, the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers limits immediate contact options.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

ISG operates in the technology and finance sectors, serving large enterprise clients globally. Its business model combines advisory services with proprietary SaaS platforms, enabling clients to optimize sourcing, governance, and benchmarking processes. The firm leverages practitioner-based research and hosts events and webinars to maintain thought leadership. The website reflects a mature brand with consistent messaging and strong trust indicators such as client success stories and research publications. The domain registration data aligns with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The company appears well-positioned in the competitive landscape of technology advisory firms with a focus on AI and digital transformation.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, and no advanced TLS protocols are enabled. The site does not publish explicit security or incident response policies, nor does it provide contact channels for security incidents. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the missing SSL and security headers represent critical gaps. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies, but overall security maturity is low. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and implementation of security best practices are essential to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user inclusivity.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Vue.js, Bootstrap, and jQuery, with integrations for video playback, carousels, and search functionality. It uses Sitefinity CMS and is hosted behind Cloudflare, inferred from IP address. Despite modern frameworks, the site suffers from slow load times (over 20 seconds) and lacks valid SSL/TLS configuration, which is a significant technical risk. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. There is room for technical improvements in performance optimization, security hardening, and enhanced accessibility 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.
