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. 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"

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

Matomo operates in the technology sector, targeting organizations seeking privacy-compliant analytics solutions. Their business model is SaaS with open-source roots, offering cloud-hosted and on-premise analytics products. The company has a medium-sized footprint, founded in 2013, and maintains a consistent brand and market position as a privacy-first analytics provider. Their ecosystem includes extensive resources, guides, and integrations, supporting a broad customer base. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for managed contact via web forms. The company leverages partnerships and integrations but no explicit partner domains were identified in the content. The domain registration and hosting setup align with a professional and legitimate business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. The domain status flags clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited add protection against unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. No security.txt or explicit security policy pages were found, and no incident response contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ are published. The site uses Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. Security headers were not explicitly found in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, using jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin, and the site includes structured data in JSON-LD format for rich search results. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, indicated by the DNS nameservers. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and images, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present. The site uses Usercentrics for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers would improve the technical security posture.
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.
