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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
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"
This scan found 25 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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 niche provider of specialized software development products with a subscription offering that bundles multiple products and services. Their market approach includes direct sales, trial downloads, and support services, targeting developers across multiple platforms including .NET, Java, WPF, and mobile. The presence of multiple related domains for support and community engagement indicates a mature ecosystem. However, the absence of social media presence and limited public business information suggests a focused but relatively small market footprint.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of modern security headers and lack of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies highlight areas for improvement. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from updates and formal policies.
Recommendations
Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Add a visible cookie consent mechanism and update privacy policies to reflect GDPR and other privacy regulations compliance.
Publish a formal incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security culture.
Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.4.1 and jQuery Validate, alongside Google reCAPTCHA and Google Fonts. The site is hosted on HTTPS with Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO, but mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement. No modern CMS or frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or legacy-built site. Updating the tech stack and improving mobile and accessibility features would enhance user experience and security.
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.
Services and partners the site relies on, identified automatically from its content. Only domains with a clear business relationship are listed.
