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

2 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. 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

ProjectionLab occupies a niche in the financial planning software market, targeting individuals seeking to plan their financial futures and advisors who support clients in retirement planning. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS with free trial options, leveraging digital marketing and affiliate programs (FirstPromoter). The company demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, with a focus on user-friendly financial simulations. The absence of explicit contact information or detailed company registration data on the website suggests a lean operation, typical for small SaaS startups. Their use of modern analytics and marketing tools indicates an active growth and customer acquisition strategy. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or WHOIS data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements spam referer mitigation, which helps protect against referral spam and potential analytics pollution. Cookie consent is actively managed, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and no explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the HTML content, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and incident management. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in DNS security and security policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve browser security.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with Vuetify for UI components, ensuring a responsive and visually consistent user experience. External resources include Google Fonts and Material Design Icons, enhancing design aesthetics. Analytics and marketing integrations are comprehensive, including Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused tracking, Google Tag Manager for tag management, Customer.io for customer engagement, and FirstPromoter for affiliate marketing. Hosting and domain registration are managed via Squarespace Domains and Google Domains DNS, indicating a reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key images and fonts to optimize loading times. Accessibility is basic but present, with room for enhancements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with modern tools, but could benefit from additional security hardening and accessibility improvements.
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.
