LiteSpeed Technologies Inc. is a well-established technology company founded in 2002, specializing in high-performance web acceleration solutions including web servers, caching plugins, and CDN services.

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. 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';…
  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.

    • 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

LiteSpeed Technologies operates a software product and service business model focused on web acceleration technologies. Their revenue streams likely include software licenses, cloud services, and support subscriptions. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with hosting providers and cloud platforms. The website's active blog and testimonials indicate ongoing engagement with customers and the community. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a focus on digital support channels. The company’s long domain age and consistent branding reinforce its credibility in the technology sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS usage and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no public security or incident response policies are available. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The company should consider publishing formal security policies and incident response contacts to strengthen their security culture and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for security issues.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Consider adding clear contact information for customer support and security inquiries to improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with UIkit and jQuery frameworks, indicating a modern and maintainable technical stack. Performance appears optimized with fast loading times and mobile responsiveness. The use of Google Tag Manager and GDPR cookie consent scripts shows attention to analytics and privacy compliance. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS is managed via Cloudflare, suggesting use of CDN and security services. The site has good SEO metadata and structured navigation. There is an opportunity to improve technical security by adding visible security headers and publishing security-related documentation.
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.
