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 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. 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Abion operates in the technology sector, focusing on intellectual property and brand protection services. Their competitive advantage lies in combining legal expertise with proprietary technology platforms, offering clients a full-circle solution for IP management. The business model is service-oriented, targeting medium to large enterprises requiring domain management, trademark protection, and web security. Revenue streams likely include subscription-based platform access, consulting, and enforcement services. The company demonstrates growth through international expansion and strategic partnerships, supported by a strong content marketing approach via insights, webinars, and whitepapers. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and legal networks, enhancing service delivery and market reach.

Security posture

Abion's security maturity is high, evidenced by ISO 27001 certification and use of DigiCert SSL certificates. The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent aligned with GDPR. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a publicly available incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy indicates a potential gap in transparency and readiness communication. Data protection practices appear sound, with no personal data leaks detected in the HTML content. The security culture is reinforced by certifications and proactive web security services offered to clients. Compliance with GDPR is evident but could be enhanced by explicit incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response contact page or email to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to harden web security.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy with detailed data retention and processing timelines to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is modern and robust, leveraging WordPress CMS with performance optimizations like WP Rocket for caching and lazy loading. Integration with HubSpot and Google Tag Manager supports marketing and analytics needs. Hosting on Oracle Cloud DNS servers suggests reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to avoid technical debt and security risks. Opportunities exist to further modernize security headers and incident response mechanisms.
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.
