Risk levelLow

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

valantic is a large digital consultancy and technology services company specializing in customer experience and e-commerce solutions across multiple European countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with professional design, multi-language support, and a comprehensive service offering focused on digital transformation and online marketing. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with modern tools such as Google Tag Manager and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a good level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy and should be further investigated. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security policies.

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

1 finding 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.

    • 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

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

valantic positions itself as a full-service digital partner with a large team of experts and multiple locations, targeting businesses seeking to innovate and grow through digital transformation. Their business model revolves around consultancy and technology implementation in areas such as online marketing strategy, personalization, data analytics, SEO, and webshop development. The company leverages partnerships and provides knowledge resources like whitepapers and podcasts to strengthen market presence. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main page suggests a preference for controlled contact via forms. The partnership with domains like digitalcommercescan.nl and a dedicated recruitment site indicates a broad ecosystem supporting their operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and clearly communicating incident response procedures to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS domain registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers for customer support and security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with optimizations such as WP Rocket caching. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The use of external domains is limited to trusted partners and services. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
