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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

OutSystems operates in the technology sector, focusing on low-code AI-powered software development platforms. Their business model revolves around providing a SaaS platform that enables rapid application delivery for enterprises. The company has a global reach with multilingual support and a strong partnership ecosystem including community forums, training, and advocacy programs. Market positioning as a leader is supported by industry recognition and a comprehensive portfolio of use cases across industries such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government. Revenue streams likely include platform subscriptions, professional services, and training. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with a focus on innovation and customer success.

Security posture

The security posture of OutSystems' website is strong, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms and session privacy masking in analytics tools demonstrate attention to user data protection. However, the absence of publicly available incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie and privacy policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy page with clear contact channels.
  2. List relevant security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to enhance trust and compliance visibility.
  3. Enhance visibility of Data Protection Officer contact information to support GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.
  5. Maintain and update security headers and SSL configurations to adhere to evolving best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 4.3, jQuery, and integrates advanced analytics tools such as Datadog RUM and Google Tag Manager. It uses a custom CMS likely based on the OutSystems platform itself. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and scripts, and mobile responsiveness is excellent. The site employs multiple external services for marketing automation (Marketo), data enrichment (ZoomInfo), and consent management (CookieLaw). The technical infrastructure supports a fast, accessible, and SEO-optimized user experience. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing accessibility features.
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.
