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

5 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 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';…

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Power Broker holds a strong position in the insurance technology sector, focusing on broker management solutions. Its business model revolves around SaaS offerings for insurance brokers, with key services including customer and policy management systems and data migration support. The company targets medium-sized to large brokerages, emphasizing scalability and reliability. Being part of Acturis Group enhances its market credibility and global footprint. The partnership ecosystem includes Acturis Group as the parent and Wholegrain Digital as the website design partner. The website content and WHOIS data confirm a consistent and legitimate business operation with a long history. Growth indicators include a large client base of over 800 Canadian brokerages and presence in 40 countries through the parent group.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections such as clientDeleteProhibited. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses secure form handling with Gravity Forms and AJAX. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by privacy policy content and consent mechanisms but not explicitly detailed. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Acturis2021 theme and integrates Gravity Forms for data collection. It employs jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and tracking. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and asynchronous script loading. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC. The site uses modern web standards and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical risks are minimal, though the lack of DNSSEC and some security headers could be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in security 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.
