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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Max Access operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital accessibility compliance. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering free and paid tiers with advanced features for power users and agencies. The company targets organizations seeking to enhance website accessibility and avoid litigation while expanding their customer base. They maintain partnerships with various organizations and showcase client logos to build trust. The presence of detailed competitive comparisons and testimonials indicates a mature market approach. Their use of AI for automated remediation and multilingual support positions them competitively against other accessibility providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of error monitoring tools like Rollbar. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR indicators. Overall, the security practices are solid but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent banner to enhance privacy compliance and GDPR adherence.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user data handling practices.
  5. Maintain and update security headers and monitor third-party scripts for vulnerabilities regularly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder and Ultimate Elementor plugin, indicating a modern and flexible CMS platform. It uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons, and integrates multimedia content via Vimeo. The site employs various marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Bing Ads, and LinkedIn Insight, reflecting a robust digital marketing infrastructure. Performance appears fast with asynchronous and deferred script loading. Accessibility is a core focus, with an advanced AI-powered toolbar and multiple accessibility profiles. The technical stack is well-chosen for scalability and user experience, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised.
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.
