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

Valona Intelligence is a recently established company (founded in 2023) specializing in delivering hyper-relevant, real-time market and competitive intelligence solutions. Their website positions them as a B2B service provider focused on offering insights into market dynamics, risks, and opportunities to enhance foresight and global outlook for their clients. The company targets businesses seeking advanced market intelligence to inform strategic decisions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and integrates multiple modern technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, Microsoft Clarity, Typeform, and HubSpot forms. The presence of Cloudflare cookies suggests CDN or security services usage. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks visible security headers and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. The cookie consent banner is detailed and GDPR compliant, indicating good privacy practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but improvements in security headers and formal policies are recommended. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front with moderate risk. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing terms of service and security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve compliance and trustworthiness.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Business profile

Valona Intelligence operates in the technology sector, providing market and competitive intelligence services primarily to business clients. Their business model revolves around delivering actionable insights through data analytics and risk assessment. The company leverages partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms such as Microsoft, Google, HubSpot, and Typeform to enhance service delivery. The domain registration and website content are consistent, supporting legitimacy. The company is small-sized and newly founded, focusing on establishing market presence with a professional digital footprint. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The use of detailed cookie disclosures and consent mechanisms reflects awareness of regulatory compliance and user privacy concerns.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise is implemented to mitigate automated abuse. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive and GDPR compliant. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing, which may introduce external risk vectors but are industry standard. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting the need for enhanced transparency and formalization of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear terms of service page to define user and business obligations.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using a custom theme, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations including Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA Enterprise, Microsoft Clarity, Typeform, and HubSpot. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and shows no privacy protection, indicating transparency. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and consent management, which are well integrated but require ongoing monitoring for security and privacy compliance. There is an opportunity to improve technical security controls and accessibility compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
