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

Privacy Tools is a Brazilian technology company specializing in privacy management and compliance solutions, primarily focused on LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) compliance. Positioned as a pioneer in the Brazilian privacy market, it offers a comprehensive SaaS platform with modules covering cookie management, consent management, DSAR handling, audit reporting, incident management, data mapping, data discovery, ESG, and AI governance. The company targets enterprises and organizations seeking to accelerate their privacy compliance and governance programs. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with strong trust signals including client logos and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies such as LiteSpeed Cache, jQuery, Materialize CSS, and integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and RD Station Forms. Hosting is provided by Hostinger with Cloudflare as a CDN and security layer. While the site demonstrates good SEO and mobile optimization, its SSL/TLS configuration is currently invalid, lacking modern protocol support and a valid certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. From a security perspective, the site implements several important HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy, but the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of DNSSEC reduce overall security. No explicit security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure policy was found. Contact information is clearly provided, including email, phone, and physical address, supporting customer engagement and trust. Overall, Privacy Tools presents a solid business and technical foundation with room for critical security improvements, especially regarding SSL/TLS deployment. Addressing these issues will enhance trust, compliance, and user confidence in their privacy management platform.

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.

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

Privacy Tools holds a strong market position as a pioneer in Brazil's privacy compliance sector, leveraging the growing demand for LGPD solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive, modular platform that addresses multiple facets of privacy management, governance, and compliance, including emerging areas like ESG and AI governance. The business model is SaaS-based, targeting medium to large enterprises requiring scalable privacy solutions. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions and service contracts. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including demo and educational platforms, enhancing customer acquisition and retention. Growth indicators include active content marketing via blogs, videos, and courses, and a visible client portfolio. Strategic observations suggest continued expansion into governance and compliance verticals and leveraging educational content to build community and brand loyalty.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Privacy Tools' website is moderate but with critical gaps. The presence of multiple security headers and a strict content security policy indicates awareness of web security best practices. However, the invalid SSL certificate and absence of modern TLS protocols expose users to potential risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The lack of DNSSEC and malformed CAA records further weaken DNS security. No formal security or incident response policies are published, which may impact compliance and customer trust. Data protection practices are supported by GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies, but incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. The security culture appears focused on compliance but requires enhancement in technical security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 to secure all user connections.
  2. Enable and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Correct and properly configure CAA DNS records to restrict certificate issuance to authorized CAs.
  4. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  5. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  6. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and reliability.
  7. Regularly audit and update security headers and content security policies to adapt to evolving threats.
  8. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.
  9. Maintain transparency in data collection and retention policies to strengthen privacy compliance.
  10. Leverage educational content and community engagement to build trust and brand loyalty.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS hosted on Hostinger with Cloudflare CDN and security services. It uses LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization and integrates multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Materialize CSS for UI components. The site employs Google Fonts and FontAwesome for typography and icons. Marketing and analytics tools include Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and RD Station Forms for lead capture. Despite these modern technologies, the SSL/TLS configuration is non-functional, lacking any enabled TLS protocols or valid certificates, which is a critical technical risk. Performance metrics are not available but the use of caching and CDN suggests moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements but accessibility is basic. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical debt is indicated by the SSL issues and incomplete DNSSEC implementation, representing modernization opportunities and risks to business continuity.
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.
