The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive product offerings, detailed documentation, and a strong emphasis on privacy compliance. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks, integrates with Microsoft Azure monitoring, and employs industry-standard consent management tools such as OneTrust.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Loqate holds a strong market position in the address verification and data validation sector, offering a broad suite of services including phone, email, and bank validation. Its business model is primarily B2B SaaS and API-based, targeting industries such as retail, fintech, logistics, and utilities. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with major e-commerce and CRM platforms to expand its reach. The presence of customer logos and detailed use cases indicates a mature customer base and strategic focus on global markets. The parent company GBG provides additional credibility and resources, positioning Loqate as a key player in the data quality and identity verification space.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements multiple security headers, reflecting a strong baseline security posture. Consent management is handled via OneTrust, ensuring GDPR compliance and user privacy. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact trust for security-conscious clients. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable analytics and monitoring tools further supports operational security. To enhance security maturity, publishing a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure program is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide incident response contact information or a dedicated security email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript, DotLottie animations, and integrates with Microsoft Azure Application Insights for monitoring. It uses OneTrust for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. The site is hosted likely on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, inferred from monitoring endpoints. Performance is optimized with preconnect and dns-prefetch hints for external resources. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links. SEO is supported by canonical tags, meta descriptions, and hreflang attributes for internationalization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and aligned with best practices.
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.
