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

4 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

    • 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

  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 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 leading global professional services network with a dual-member structure: Forvis Mazars, LLP in the US and Forvis Mazars Group SC internationally. Its business model leverages integrated partnerships and sectoral expertise to deliver tailored services. The firm targets a broad market including various industries such as manufacturing, real estate, and public sector. The presence of multiple specialized blogs and regional domains indicates a strong content marketing strategy and thought leadership. The company maintains active social media channels and a dedicated careers site, supporting talent acquisition and brand engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks dedicated security policy documentation and incident response contact channels, which are important for transparency and compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. The absence of vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files indicates limited public-facing security communication. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security culture and incident readiness visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with asynchronous loading of analytics and monitoring scripts, including Google Tag Manager and New Relic Browser Agent. The presence of slick carousel indicates interactive UI components. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive CSS. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
