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. 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

  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

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

Microsoft Power BI holds a dominant position in the business analytics market, leveraging Microsoft's extensive cloud infrastructure and enterprise relationships. The business model is SaaS-based, offering subscription and usage-based revenue streams. The platform serves a broad range of industries and organizational sizes, focusing on data-driven decision-making. Strategic partnerships and integrations with Microsoft Azure and Office 365 enhance its ecosystem. The website content and structure align with enterprise-grade service delivery, emphasizing security, compliance, and user experience. Growth indicators include continuous platform updates and telemetry-driven improvements.

Security posture

The security posture of the Power BI sign-in page is strong, utilizing Microsoft Azure AD for authentication and enforcing HTTPS. Input validation is implemented on user email entry, reducing injection risks. Telemetry and logging are active for monitoring user activity and potential security events. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security in the provided data suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are publicly available on this page, which could be improved to foster transparency. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature security culture consistent with enterprise standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Localytics for analytics, and Microsoft Azure AD for authentication. Resources are served via Microsoft content delivery networks ensuring fast load times and high availability. The site is mobile optimized and uses telemetry for performance and security monitoring. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is robust with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended. Hosting on Microsoft Azure provides scalability and reliability suitable for enterprise workloads.
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.
