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

Quaive is a specialized technology company offering a secure social collaboration platform designed to integrate document sharing and communication into a unified digital workplace. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking modern intranet and collaboration solutions, positioning itself as a niche provider with a focus on EU-hosted services and compliance. Quaive's offerings include social intranet, digital workplace, knowledge management, and community platform solutions, supported by a tiered SaaS subscription model. The website reflects a mature business established in 2015, with professional branding and clear market positioning. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with multilingual support via WPML and performance optimizations through NitroPack. It employs modern web technologies and demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the company's European focus, using a reputable registrar and EU hosting implied by content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain transfer protection. However, it lacks DNSSEC and some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is provided primarily via physical addresses and a demo request form, with no explicit security or incident response policies published. Overall, Quaive presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a solid technical foundation and good security posture. Strategic improvements in cookie consent, security headers, and visible security policies would enhance compliance and trust further.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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

  3. 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';…

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

Quaive operates in the technology sector, focusing on social collaboration and digital workplace solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in integrating communication and document sharing in a secure, EU-hosted platform tailored for modern organizations. The business model is SaaS-based with multiple subscription tiers catering to small teams up to large enterprises. Quaive's target customers are businesses seeking to modernize internal communication and collaboration. The company demonstrates growth potential through multilingual support and vertical-specific solutions. Partnerships with design agencies like Stoere Binken indicate a professional ecosystem. The website content and client logos suggest a focus on European markets, with physical offices in multiple EU countries. Quaive's strategic positioning emphasizes ease of use, security, and comprehensive functionality.

Security posture

Quaive's security maturity is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. The absence of Content-Security-Policy and other security headers reduces protection against certain web-based attacks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data, vulnerable libraries, or insecure forms was found. Privacy policy is comprehensive, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may impact GDPR compliance. Incident response and security policy documents are not publicly available, indicating room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, Quaive maintains a secure baseline but should enhance security headers and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Add X-Content-Type-Options and other recommended security headers to harden the website.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and trust.

It uses Google Fonts (Montserrat), GSAP for animations, and Visitor Analytics for tracking. The site is well-structured with valid meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data enhancing SEO and social sharing. Hosting appears to be EU-based with CDN support for fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Technical debt is low, but security header implementation could be improved. The use of NitroPack and caching indicates a focus on performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital 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.
