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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 46 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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

Magnet Forensics operates in the technology sector with a focus on digital forensics software and cyberattack investigation tools. Their business model targets B2B customers including law enforcement and government entities. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with enterprise scale and recognized certifications. Their digital marketing ecosystem includes Google Tag Manager and Mouseflow for analytics and user behavior tracking. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a high level of business credibility. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused partnership and service ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear secure with no obvious flaws. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response page limits transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved with better communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance contact information specifically for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks.
  5. Consider advanced WAF or bot protection to safeguard against emerging threats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with React components, leveraging Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for performance and analytics. New Relic is used for monitoring, and Mouseflow provides session replay capabilities. The site demonstrates fast loading times, excellent mobile responsiveness, and good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. No technical debt or outdated libraries were detected in the provided HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well maintained.
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.
