Information Technology Quality Certification and Research (ITQCR) is a specialized software testing laboratory certified by STQC SETL and compliant with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards. Established in 2016 and operating primarily in India, ITQCR focuses on providing high-quality software testing services for government e-Governance projects, including VAPT, functional, performance, and accessibility testing. The company has a strong portfolio with over 500 government projects and is positioned as a leading testing service provider in the Indian government sector. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 8.9.13, uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy and security disclosures.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

ITQCR operates in the government and technology sectors, targeting government agencies and enterprises requiring software testing and compliance services. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on software testing certifications and audits, particularly for e-Governance projects. The company leverages certifications such as STQC and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 to establish credibility. Its partnership ecosystem includes associations with various Indian government bodies and quality councils. The company demonstrates growth and market presence through a portfolio of completed projects and client testimonials. Revenue streams likely derive from testing services, audits, and certification facilitation. Strategic observations include a strong niche focus on government compliance and digital assurance, with opportunities to expand privacy and security policy transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site uses secure forms for compliance number searches but lacks explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is limited, with no GDPR indicators or cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture appears focused on testing and assurance services but could benefit from enhanced transparency and published security policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but should be strengthened to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8.9.13 CMS, utilizing jQuery 3.5.1 and Slick Carousel for UI components, and Blazy for lazy loading images. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be managed via Name.com based on DNS data. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The use of multiple external government and partner domains indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
