0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Positive Foundry is a specialized enterprise training company focused on improving employee well-being and organizational culture through science-backed, team-based training programs. The company appears to be a small but established player in the niche market of employee engagement and performance enhancement. The website is built on WordPress, hosted by SiteGround, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. While the site is professionally designed and optimized for SEO and mobile use, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and publishing security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the site is legitimate and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company targets enterprise clients seeking to improve employee well-being and organizational culture, positioning itself as a provider of scalable, science-backed training solutions. Its business model is B2B focused, relying on training services rather than product sales. The lack of visible contact information and certifications on the website may limit trust-building with potential clients. The use of HubSpot suggests an active marketing and lead generation strategy. The domain age and registration details align with the company's founding date, supporting credibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status flags that prevent unauthorized domain changes, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and compliance. The use of third-party scripts like HubSpot and Google Analytics introduces potential privacy and security risks if not properly managed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better security practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add a security policy page detailing frameworks followed and incident response procedures, including dedicated contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a focus on search engine optimization. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, a reputable provider. The site loads multiple external scripts from HubSpot and Google Analytics, which support marketing and analytics functions but require careful privacy management. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced performance optimizations detected. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. The site lacks DNSSEC, which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small enterprise website but could benefit from modernization 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.
