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

Majestic Analytics, operated by Majestic-12 Ltd, is a UK-based company specializing in big data solutions powered by one of the world's largest web crawlers and link databases. Their services target enterprises seeking comprehensive internet mapping and analytics, offering extensive datasets and bespoke data snapshots. The company has a solid market position supported by a large historical web index and recognized research collaborations. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Piwik analytics. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with a clear and professional design. However, some accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, and no CMS or hosting provider beyond the registrar is explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and JavaScript-based analytics but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, with no privacy protection, aligning with the company's UK presence. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve user confidence and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

    • 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

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

Majestic Analytics operates in the technology sector, focusing on big data and web analytics. Their competitive advantage lies in owning and operating one of the largest web crawlers, providing unique and fresh data not scraped from other services. Their business model includes API access, bespoke data reports, and retail offerings through majestic.com. The target customers are enterprises requiring deep internet data insights. The company shows growth through research collaborations and a comprehensive data offering. The presence of a UK physical address, company registration, and VAT number supports operational transparency. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in forms or content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. Lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which may delay handling of security issues. The use of Piwik analytics shows some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall privacy compliance is poor. Enhancing security headers, publishing policies, and establishing incident response contacts would significantly improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page with contact information.
  4. Use POST method for contact forms to secure data transmission and consider CAPTCHA to prevent abuse.
  5. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Font Awesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. It uses jQuery and Modernizr for compatibility and feature detection. Piwik analytics is deployed for user tracking. The site loads external resources over HTTPS, indicating secure content delivery. Performance is moderate with deferred and async script loading. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA landmarks or roles detected. SEO is supported by meta tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. No CMS or backend platform is identified, suggesting a custom or static site. Hosting provider details are not explicit beyond the registrar information.
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.
