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

4 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Jackson holds a significant market position in the finance sector, specializing in annuities and retirement planning. Its business model revolves around insurance products and financial services, targeting individuals planning retirement and financial professionals. The company leverages partnerships with regulatory bodies like FINRA and maintains compliance with SEC and GAAP standards. The website's content and structure support a broad audience including consumers, advisors, and institutional clients. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and a parent company indicates a complex corporate structure. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals such as awards and regulatory affiliations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, session management features, and no exposed sensitive data. Use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is extensive but appears well managed. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but are likely implemented server-side. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Verify and enforce comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging Adobe Marketing Cloud tools and integrates multiple analytics and marketing technologies including Google Tag Manager, Marketo, and social media pixels. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN and Adobe Cloud services, supporting moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site uses modern web standards and includes SEO and accessibility features, though accessibility could be improved. Technical debt appears low with a well-structured codebase and consistent branding. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve privacy transparency.
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.
