0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Paycover is a specialized social secretariat operating in various sectors including transport, logistics, hospitality, construction, food, cleaning, moving, garage, and metal industries. The company offers tailored services adapted to the complex regulations specific to these sectors, targeting businesses active in these professional fields primarily in Belgium. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, it lacks explicit contact information and comprehensive privacy or terms of service policies. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing key security headers and incident response information. WHOIS data is restricted, which reduces transparency but is common for privacy protection. Overall, the website presents a legitimate small business with room for improvement in security and compliance documentation.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

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

Paycover positions itself as a niche service provider in the social secretariat domain, focusing on sector-specific regulatory compliance for businesses in Belgium. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized knowledge and tailored service offerings for complex sector regulations. The business model revolves around providing administrative and regulatory support to companies in multiple labor-intensive sectors. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a professional but minimal digital footprint. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website data. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed. The company could benefit from enhanced transparency and expanded digital presence to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates potential vulnerabilities to common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness for security incidents. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear contact channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add clear contact information including phone numbers, emails, and a dedicated security incident response contact.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the website and backend systems.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and ensure compliance with relevant standards to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CDN and integrated services such as Typekit fonts and Google Fonts. The technical implementation is modern with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace hosted site. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low but the absence of security headers and privacy documentation suggests areas for modernization and compliance improvements. The site is well-structured but could benefit from enhanced technical security controls and richer business information integration.
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.
