The company targets data leaders, IT, business leaders, and public sector organizations, offering a SaaS platform that integrates data cataloging, governance, AI-enhanced search, and collaboration features. Recognized by Gartner and trusted by over 350 clients including major financial and public institutions, Huwise positions itself as a leading solution in the data sharing market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and uses various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience and analytics, including Matomo and Google Tag Manager. The site is well-optimized for SEO, mobile-friendly, and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management tools but lacks explicit security headers and incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual but the website's professional presentation and client references support its legitimacy. Overall, Huwise presents a mature and professional digital presence with strong business credibility. Strategic improvements in security transparency and WHOIS registration clarity are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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

5 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

Huwise operates in the technology sector, focusing on data marketplaces and data governance solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive SaaS platform that supports data product lifecycle management, AI-powered search, and multi-channel data sharing. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for the SaaS platform and consulting services. The target customers are medium to large enterprises, public institutions, and data-driven organizations in sectors such as energy, banking, transportation, and government. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem with platforms like community, user guide, and data hub sites. Growth indicators include a high NPS score and numerous high-profile clients. The company emphasizes innovation, compliance, and user experience in its market approach.

Security posture

Huwise demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not provide direct security contact channels, which could hinder incident reporting and response. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a SaaS provider but requiring enhancements in transparency and proactive security communication to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file on the website root to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information or a dedicated security contact email to support timely communication of security issues.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or compliance badges to strengthen trust with clients and prospects.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates advanced UI/UX libraries such as AOS for animations and Swiper for carousels. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature approach to user behavior tracking and marketing. The site uses a cookie consent management platform (Axeptio) to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and optimized images. The technical stack is well-maintained with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance robustness.
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.
