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

4 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

Productive.io occupies a competitive niche in the professional services automation market, leveraging a SaaS model to deliver integrated solutions for resource planning, project management, and financial oversight. Its extensive feature set and customer base indicate a well-established market position. The company targets medium-sized professional service firms and agencies, emphasizing operational visibility and profitability. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is standard for SaaS businesses. The website's marketing and analytics ecosystem is robust, supporting data-driven growth and customer engagement. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies may pose compliance risks and affect customer trust. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data, suggesting a focused standalone operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs domain status protections, indicating a baseline security posture. Multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts are integrated, which increases the attack surface and necessitates vigilant script management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms reduces transparency and preparedness perception. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential DNS security gap. Security headers are not fully confirmed, suggesting an opportunity to harden HTTP responses. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but requires enhancements in policy transparency and technical controls to reach higher maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy and security risks.
  5. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and well-maintained theme and plugins, including Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by AWS DNS nameservers. The site uses advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Ahrefs, Dreamdata, and Apollo.io, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and images, lazy loading, and caching via WP Rocket. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. The technical stack is robust, but reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing security and privacy management. The absence of visible security headers and DNSSEC suggests areas for technical improvement to enhance 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.
