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

PROMISE Technology, Inc operates a professional website focused on high-performance storage solutions tailored for IT, cloud, surveillance, and rich media markets. The company positions itself as a leading developer offering scalable SAN, Thunderbolt, NAS, and cloud storage products. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive product catalogs, success stories, and promotional content targeting IT professionals and media production companies. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Foundation CSS, and Google Analytics, delivering a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not evident. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall branding and content quality support a credible business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing detailed security and privacy policies, and providing clear contact information for security incidents.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company targets enterprise and professional markets requiring robust storage solutions, leveraging proprietary PromiseRAID technology and specialized Boost technologies for surveillance and rich media. Their business model is B2B focused, selling hardware and software solutions through direct and partner channels, including an official PromiseShop. The website content and product lines indicate a strong market position in storage technology with a focus on performance and reliability. The presence of multiple language options and global targeting suggests international operations. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides trust signals through case studies and technology highlights.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limit the security maturity level. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data absence is a concern but may be due to privacy protection or registrar policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing incident response procedures and contact channels.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie and data retention policies.
  4. Add clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack featuring jQuery 2.2.4, Foundation CSS framework, Font Awesome icons, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in script loading and accessibility enhancements. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content.
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.
