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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention provenworks.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for provenworks.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

ProvenWorks holds a strong market position as a Salesforce AppExchange partner with a focused product suite addressing data quality and management challenges within Salesforce CRM. Their competitive advantage lies in deep Salesforce expertise, long-standing industry presence, and a diverse client base spanning multiple time zones and sectors. Revenue streams likely derive from SaaS subscriptions and enterprise licensing of their Salesforce applications. The company actively engages with customers through multiple channels including embedded live chat, social media, and educational webinars. Their partnership ecosystem includes Salesforce and related technology providers. Growth indicators include a large customer base and continuous product development. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional content that supports its market credibility.

Security posture

ProvenWorks exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness perception. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. The embedded Salesforce live chat is a secure channel for customer interaction. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced policy publication and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security-related HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates advanced JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet for mapping and Bodymovin for animations, enhancing user experience. Analytics and marketing tools are well integrated, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, and Clearbit. The site uses Salesforce's embedded live chat for real-time customer support. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by comprehensive metadata and structured JSON-LD data. Technical risks are minimal, though the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers represent areas for improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
