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. 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

  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

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

OffSec holds a strong market position as a specialized cybersecurity training provider with a focus on practical skills and certifications. Their business model revolves around delivering training courses, certifications, and enterprise cyber ranges. The company leverages partnerships and social media channels to expand reach and credibility. Revenue streams likely include course fees, certification exams, and enterprise services. The absence of detailed WHOIS data slightly impacts credibility but does not detract from the professional presentation and recognized certifications. Growth indicators include active social media and continuous content updates.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement in transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie banner but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be a gap in security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance security transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility, including verified company emails and phone numbers, to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services including Cookiebot for consent management, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Salesloft for sales engagement, and Paperform for forms. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The lack of CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation, which could be addressed to reduce potential attack surface and compliance risks.
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.
