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

Minitab is a well-established company specializing in data analysis, statistical software, and process improvement tools. Their website presents a comprehensive suite of products and solutions targeted at business professionals, analysts, engineers, and educators. The company holds a strong market position as a leader in statistical software and process improvement, offering a variety of software products, educational resources, and services. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and relevant content for its audience. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates multiple modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Adobe Launch, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good performance and accessibility standards, with comprehensive SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers. It uses a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page and explicit incident response contact information, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, though the absence of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants caution. The domain appears legitimate based on content and external references. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, incident response details, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to improve security posture and user trust.

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

2 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 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

Minitab operates in the technology sector, focusing on software solutions for data analysis and process improvement. Their business model revolves around software licensing, cloud services, and educational offerings. The company targets a broad range of industries including manufacturing, education, healthcare, and government sectors. Minitab's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive product suite and strong brand recognition. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and analytics tools, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement. Partnerships such as licensing management are evident, supporting operational efficiency. Growth indicators include extensive resource offerings and global language support. The company maintains a professional and consistent brand image, reinforcing market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No signs of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or insecure forms were found. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact user confidence. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for responsible vulnerability management. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with enhanced policy disclosures and incident handling information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR and global compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by including certifications or compliance attestations related to security and data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, indicating a strong technical foundation. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Adobe Launch, and OneTrust for consent management. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and embeds video content via Vidyard and Vimeo APIs. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred resources. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and optimize performance further.
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.
