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

8 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

  2. Security headers

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

PayZen operates in the finance and e-commerce sectors, providing essential payment processing services. Its business model revolves around enabling merchants to accept payments through various channels with flexible integration options. The company benefits from the backing of Lyra Network, a recognized payment group with multiple subsidiaries and international presence. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its compliance with the latest security standards, extensive payment method support, and localized French market focus. Partnerships with CMS platforms and a broad developer ecosystem enhance its market reach. The company targets medium to large businesses and public sector clients, emphasizing ease of integration and high security.

Security posture

The security maturity of PayZen is high, demonstrated by PCI DSS certification, 3DS2 protocol compliance, and HTTPS enforcement. The website implements cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact details to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Continue to optimize website performance and accessibility to maintain excellent user experience.

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.
