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

Metasite is a specialized technology engineering company focused on delivering bespoke digital solutions for the financial services industry. Their offerings include software development, data integration, and analytics aimed at empowering financial institutions to enhance growth and operational efficiency. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging Webflow CMS and integrating multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and business insights. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Security measures such as HTTPS and cookie consent are implemented, but the lack of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement in security posture. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though no dedicated privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content.

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

5 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 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. 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.

  3. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 13 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Metasite positions itself as a niche technology partner for financial institutions, focusing on tailored software and data solutions. Their business model revolves around bespoke development and integration services, targeting financial sector clients who require specialized technology to drive efficiency. The company leverages partnerships with major analytics and marketing platforms, indicating a data-driven approach to business growth. The lack of visible contact information and company registration details limits transparency, which could affect client trust and business credibility. The website's content quality and branding consistency support a professional image, but the missing WHOIS data and absence of legal disclosures suggest potential operational or compliance gaps.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. Use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha adds bot protection. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs, indicating limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing trackers increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security documentation, and improving transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure key security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie management. Hosting appears to be via Webflow with Cloudflare services providing additional security and performance features. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted resources. However, the absence of explicit security headers and limited accessibility features indicate technical debt in security and compliance areas. There is an opportunity to modernize security configurations and improve transparency to align with industry best practices.
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.
