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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

The company positions itself as a strategic partner incentivized to create impact, focusing on telecom industry collaborations. Their business model revolves around matchmaking and advisory services, with a strong emphasis on minimizing risk and accelerating results for clients. The presence of detailed team profiles and geographic distribution of match-makers indicates a broad and well-established network. Integration with marketing and analytics tools like MailerLite, Google Analytics, and LinkedIn Insight Tag supports their growth and outreach strategies. The company maintains transparency with clear contact details, legal disclosures, and privacy compliance, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management via Borlabs Cookie, including granular controls for essential, statistics, marketing, and external media cookies. Forms are protected with Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam. While explicit security headers are not fully detailed, the overall security posture is good with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. Recommendations include implementing additional security headers and keeping WordPress and plugins updated. No incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits of third-party scripts and integrations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.20 with jQuery 1.12.4 and uses modern UI libraries like Slick Carousel and Flickity for interactive elements. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO Premium plugin, and performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Cookie management is robust with Borlabs Cookie plugin, supporting GDPR compliance. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Some technical debt is indicated by the use of older WordPress and jQuery versions, suggesting opportunities for modernization to improve security 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.
