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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

Provide Support operates in the technology sector, focusing on customer service software delivered via a subscription SaaS model. Their competitive advantage lies in their long market presence, multi-platform support, and extensive integrations with e-commerce and CMS platforms. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees for agent profiles with flexible plans. The target customers are businesses of various sizes seeking reliable live chat solutions. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem through integrations and an affiliate program. Growth indicators include continuous feature updates, 24/7 support, and a global customer base. The company’s operations emphasize customer satisfaction, ease of use, and security, positioning them well in a competitive market.

Security posture

The security maturity of Provide Support is moderate to high. The website enforces HTTPS and uses encryption for chat transcripts and offline messages, protecting customer data during transmission. Cookie consent is implemented, aligning with privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact, and security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. The security headers are not explicitly detected in the HTML, suggesting potential enhancement areas. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but would benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and security certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and responsive design framework (Bootstrap) with optimized assets and Google Fonts for typography. JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel enhance UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing integrations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with clear navigation and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image sizes and script loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security headers and formalized security documentation.
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.
