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 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

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

Powell operates a B2B SaaS model focused on regulated industries requiring secure, compliant digital workplaces. Their competitive advantage lies in deep Microsoft 365 integration, AI augmentation, and customizable intranet solutions. Revenue streams likely include subscription plans tailored by company size and needs. The company targets enterprise customers seeking to improve internal communications and governance. Strategic partnerships, especially with Microsoft, bolster market credibility. Growth indicators include extensive user base and analyst recognition. The partner ecosystem and product offerings suggest a well-established operational model with a focus on compliance and user experience.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a reputable registrar and domain transfer lock, indicating baseline security maturity. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers or policies are published, which are areas for improvement. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency and incident response readiness. The embedded forms use HubSpot, a trusted platform, but no direct contact emails for security incidents are provided. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional DNS and HTTP security measures and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response information, including a security.txt file and contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement and publish HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact information for security and privacy inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with performance optimizations via WP Rocket and multilingual support through WPML. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and integrates HubSpot forms for lead capture. SEO is well managed with Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is via Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast due to lazy loading and caching strategies. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve security posture.
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.
