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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Nextgen holds a strong market position as an independent clearing expert in the telecommunications sector, offering a comprehensive suite of products including Financial Clearing, Data Clearing, M2M solutions, and IoT management platforms. Their competitive advantages include award-winning technology, flexibility, and proactive customer service as highlighted by client testimonials. The company targets mobile network operators and related telecom businesses, leveraging a B2B SaaS and services model. Their global footprint and GSMA membership reinforce their credibility. The website content and certifications reflect a mature business with strategic focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and HSTS headers, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting privacy compliance efforts. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs are absent, representing gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security score is good but could be improved by publishing detailed security and incident response information and implementing a security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is appropriate for the business type but lacks some advanced compliance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish detailed security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify legal usage and responsibilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Improve SEO metadata including descriptions and keywords to increase discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its proprietary scripts and Google Fonts for typography. The technical implementation is modern with responsive design and smooth navigation. Performance is moderate, typical of CMS-hosted sites. The site uses standard meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing but lacks advanced SEO optimizations. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility enhancements.
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.
