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

6 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Business profile

PortlandLabs operates in a competitive technology services market with a niche focus on secure digital solutions for government and large enterprise clients. Their long-standing history since 2002 and association with high-profile clients provide a competitive advantage. The business model is B2B, delivering bespoke software and IT services tailored to client needs. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and managed IT services. The company maintains partnerships with technology providers such as Concrete CMS, enhancing their service capabilities. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio of case studies and active client testimonials. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the website suggests a controlled communication channel, likely to maintain professionalism and security. The missing WHOIS data is a potential risk factor that should be addressed to avoid trust issues.

Security posture

PortlandLabs demonstrates a mature security posture with adherence to recognized frameworks including ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC2, and IL2/IL4, which is critical given their government and enterprise clientele. The website uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency in security incident handling. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could delay reporting and remediation of security issues. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve site security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve security communication channels.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Concrete CMS, leveraging jQuery and modern analytics tools such as Matomo and Google Tag Manager. The use of asynchronous script loading and responsive design indicates a focus on performance and user experience. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
