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

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

Piwik PRO operates in the technology sector, focusing on analytics and data privacy solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in offering unsampled, raw data analytics with strong privacy compliance, appealing to organizations sensitive to data protection laws. The business model is SaaS-based, providing modular services such as analytics, tag management, and consent management. The company serves a diverse client base including government entities, non-profits, and large enterprises, as evidenced by client logos and testimonials. Its partnership ecosystem includes cookie consent providers, marketing automation platforms, and fraud detection services, enhancing its service offerings. The multi-language website and regional subdomains indicate a global market reach. Growth indicators include frequent blog updates, detailed resource libraries, and active community engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity of Piwik PRO's website is high. The site enforces HTTPS with modern TLS protocols and has implemented SPF and DMARC for email security. No vulnerable or weak cipher suites are present, and there is no indication of subdomain takeover risks. The site uses third-party services for fraud detection and consent management, which are integrated securely. However, the absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling are minor gaps that could be addressed to enhance security. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to demonstrate readiness. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, supporting GDPR compliance and user control over data. Overall, the security posture supports business operations with low risk of data breaches or compliance violations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Correct and define CAA DNS records properly to restrict certificate issuance and enhance domain security.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a well-supported and widely used platform. It uses Piwik PRO's own tracking scripts and integrates Cookie Information for consent management, along with Fraud0 for fraud detection. The hosting is via Amazon AWS, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 5.6 seconds and a large page size (~3MB), suggesting potential optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
