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

3 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Messente's market positioning as a global SMS API provider gives it competitive advantages in reach and reliability. Its B2B SaaS business model focuses on providing communication APIs and notification services to enterprises and developers. The company benefits from a clear branding strategy, consistent content, and active social media presence. Revenue streams likely include subscription and usage-based fees for messaging services. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing and analytics platforms like HubSpot and Google Analytics. Growth indicators include long domain tenure and extensive market coverage. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance security transparency and incident response readiness to further build customer trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is good, with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt file indicates gaps in formal security governance and vulnerability disclosure. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be improved to mitigate common web risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent and privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy page including incident response procedures.
  2. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@messente.com or abuse@messente.com).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including HubSpot CMS, Google Tag Manager, and various marketing and analytics tools. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. The use of asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints indicates attention to performance optimization. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced to improve inclusivity. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain uses stable DNS servers. Technical risks are low but could be further mitigated by improving security headers and formalizing security governance.
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.
