PSC Software is a well-established enterprise software provider specializing in quality management systems and inspection management solutions tailored for life sciences and regulated industries such as biotech, pharma, and medical devices. Founded in 2009, the company offers a comprehensive suite of products including ACE® and its modules for document management, training, clinical trial management, and regulatory compliance. The company is positioned as a trusted partner to leading global companies, supported by strong customer testimonials and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, and HubSpot. The site demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, although some accessibility aspects could be improved. Hosting is via GoDaddy, and the domain registration is consistent with the company's history and business claims. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, and integrates security features such as Google Recaptcha and anti-CSRF tokens. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC, adding more security headers, and publishing explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, PSC Software presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious online presence aligned with its business focus. The site supports its market position with strong trust indicators and a comprehensive digital infrastructure.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain blog.pscsoftware.com points to unregistered service pscsoftwarewebsite-1231655943.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

PSC Software operates in the healthcare technology sector, focusing on quality management and compliance software for regulated industries. Its competitive advantage lies in offering an integrated platform that connects quality, inspection, clinical, manufacturing, and regulatory workflows with AI-powered analytics. The business model centers on enterprise software sales, supported by professional services such as implementation, training, and validation. The company targets medium to large organizations in biotech, pharma, and medical device sectors, emphasizing compliance and operational efficiency. Strategic partnerships and integrations with major enterprise platforms like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include new product launches (e.g., ACE Intelligence™, ACE Assessment™) and a strong customer base featuring industry leaders. The company maintains a consistent brand and digital presence, leveraging testimonials and social media to build credibility.

Security posture

PSC Software demonstrates a mature security posture appropriate for an enterprise software provider in regulated industries. The website enforces HTTPS and uses security tokens and Google Recaptcha to protect user interactions. Cookie consent is granular and GDPR-compliant, reflecting strong privacy practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options suggests opportunities for hardening. No evidence of exposed credentials, malware, or phishing was found. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with business needs but could benefit from additional controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other recommended security headers to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Bootstrap 5.3 for responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates multiple third-party services including HubSpot, LinkedIn Insight, Google Analytics, Bing Ads, and Ewebinar widgets, indicating a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for fonts and scripts. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with comprehensive metadata and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and DNS configuration could reduce risk. The site architecture supports scalability and integration with enterprise tools, aligning with the company's business model and target market.
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.
