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

4 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NorthC operates in the technology sector focusing on datacenter and colocation services with a B2B business model targeting enterprises, IT providers, and government entities. Their competitive advantage lies in regional presence combined with international reach, sustainable operations powered by 100% green energy, and a comprehensive service portfolio including cloud connectivity and migration support. The company leverages partnerships and a strong support team to deliver personalized service. Growth indicators include expansion into multiple countries and continuous investment in sustainable infrastructure. The company maintains a professional brand with consistent messaging and active social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement, modern security headers, and secure form implementations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. There is no visible contact for security incidents or a designated data protection officer, which could be a compliance gap under GDPR and NIS2 regulations. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing more detailed security governance information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to comply with GDPR and improve incident handling.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.
  5. Enhance website monitoring and penetration testing to proactively identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Gravity Forms for data collection and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Performance optimizations include lazy loading images with Lozad.js and preloading fonts. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags, including Google Analytics and Reddit Ads pixel. The site is well-structured with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Accessibility and mobile optimization are well implemented. No technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, indicating good maintenance and modernization 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.
