0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Meloscope Ltd. is a New Zealand-based IT consulting and project management company operating internationally since 2012. The company offers a range of services including internet web networks consulting, web systems design and development, cloud services, project management as a service, and software consulting and development. Their target audience includes businesses seeking IT infrastructure optimization and digital transformation solutions. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear service descriptions and contact options via email and LinkedIn. Technically, the website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and other JavaScript libraries. The site is mobile optimized and has a moderate performance profile. However, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and does not appear to use any CMS or backend platform. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks published privacy, cookie, or security policies, and no security headers were detected. There are no forms or user input fields, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website scores moderately well on business credibility and technical implementation but falls short on privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic improvements in policy publication, security headers, and incident response readiness are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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
    • 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';…

  2. 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

Meloscope Ltd. holds a stable position as a small international IT consulting firm with a focus on web and cloud technologies. Their business model centers on consulting and project management, often managing outsourced development teams. The company targets businesses requiring IT infrastructure optimization and digital transformation. The presence of a LinkedIn company page supports professional networking and credibility. The lack of physical address and phone contact on the website may limit some customer trust. No advertising or affiliate partnerships are evident, indicating a direct service delivery model. Growth indicators include a decade of operation and international market presence. The company could benefit from expanding transparency and compliance documentation to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic. The website is accessible over HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed), with no visible exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided. The lack of forms reduces attack vectors but also limits user interaction. WHOIS data is consistent and not privacy protected, supporting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in policy publication, header implementation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security contact email.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured with strong SSL/TLS settings and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  5. Add accessibility improvements and SEO enhancements to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Font Awesome for icons, and additional libraries such as ScrollReveal and Lettering.js for UI effects. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. No CMS or backend platform is detected, suggesting a static or simple server setup. Performance is moderate with no obvious broken elements. SEO metadata is minimal with no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data present. No analytics or tracking scripts are included, indicating minimal user tracking. The absence of forms reduces complexity but also limits data collection capabilities. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data.
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.
