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. 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. 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 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

Pixl8 operates in the technology sector with a specialized focus on non-profit and membership organizations. Their competitive advantage lies in deep sector insight combined with flexible technology solutions tailored to professional bodies and charities. The business model centers on providing SaaS products and consultancy services, generating revenue through software licensing, development projects, and ongoing support. Their global office footprint and client base indicate steady growth and international reach. Partnerships with companies like ReadyMembership enhance their product offerings. The company’s strategic positioning as a trusted technology partner for niche markets supports sustainable competitive differentiation and client loyalty.

Security posture

Pixl8 demonstrates a mature security posture evidenced by ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance. The website uses HTTPS exclusively and employs a detailed cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and legal requirements. While security headers are not fully visible in the HTML, the presence of SameSite cookie attributes and secure cookie practices is positive. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of reputable third-party services further reduce risk. Overall, Pixl8’s security practices align well with industry standards for a technology service provider in the non-profit sector.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy policies and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and HubSpot and Piwik PRO for marketing and analytics. The CMS identified is Preside CMS, a specialized platform for membership organizations. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site loads efficiently with asynchronous script loading and optimized images. Cookie consent is managed by a sophisticated CookieControl system with granular user options. Accessibility and SEO best practices are observed with proper meta tags, ARIA roles, and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but could be further mitigated by enhancing security headers and DNS security.
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.
