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
  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
  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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.

Business context

Business profile

Markit occupies a unique position in the IT procurement market by offering a transparent, multi-vendor purchasing platform that integrates real-time pricing and delivery data from numerous distributors across 45 countries. Its business model focuses on providing enterprises with simplified purchasing options through various pricing plans, including pay-as-you-go and fixed monthly fees. The company targets medium to large international organizations seeking to optimize IT hardware and accessory procurement. Partnerships with major IT brands like Lenovo, HP, and Microsoft enhance its market credibility. The platform's integration capabilities with popular e-procurement systems like Coupa and SAP further strengthen its competitive advantage. The presence of comprehensive policies and clear contact information indicates a mature operational structure. However, the lack of public WHOIS data limits deeper verification of corporate structure and history.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS usage and a cookie consent banner indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web application against common attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit security policy or incident response contact information, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and ProvideSupport live chat is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a B2B platform but would benefit from enhanced header policies and published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense against web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust with enterprise clients.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen market credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms technology, utilizing jQuery 3.6.0 and Bootstrap for responsive design and UI components. Google Fonts and Feather icons are used for visual styling. The site loads moderately fast with a well-structured HTML layout and includes meta tags for SEO optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and content scaling. The presence of __VIEWSTATE and __VIEWSTATEGENERATOR hidden fields confirms ASP.NET Web Forms usage. The site integrates Google Analytics for traffic analysis and ProvideSupport for live chat support. No CMS is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from modernization by migrating away from legacy ASP.NET Web Forms to newer frameworks for improved maintainability and performance.
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.
