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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, 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
    • 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

OpenWay operates in the fintech and banking technology sector, targeting B2B customers such as banks, payment processors, and fintech startups. The business model focuses on software licensing and SaaS offerings for digital payment solutions. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals including GDPR compliance and active social media engagement. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a long-standing and legitimate business presence. The company’s product portfolio is diverse, addressing multiple payment industry needs, which supports a competitive advantage and growth potential. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforces clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, indicating good domain security practices. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categories and opt-in/out options, supporting GDPR compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of a security policy page or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a minor security gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional security headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response information on the website.
  4. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Consider providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for customer and security inquiries to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery 3.7.1, Google Analytics (Universal and GA4), Google Tag Manager, and CookieYes for consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and deferred JavaScript. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and ARIA attributes. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicit. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected, indicating a well-managed technical environment.
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.
