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

Quansight Consulting is a specialized data science and AI/ML consulting firm leveraging open source software and the Python ecosystem to solve complex data problems. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company serves organizations seeking advanced AI, machine learning, and data engineering solutions. Their market position is strengthened by notable founders and active contributions to major open source projects, positioning them as trusted experts in the technology sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor, uses modern JavaScript libraries, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers like Content-Security-Policy. Privacy compliance is good with a clear privacy policy and GDPR indicators, though a cookie consent mechanism is missing. Overall, the site reflects a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature organization with room for security enhancements.

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

8 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: 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

  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 · 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

Quansight operates in the technology consulting sector with a focus on AI, machine learning, and open source software integration. Their business model centers on providing bespoke consulting services and training to enterprises, supported by a strong open source community presence. The company targets medium to large organizations requiring advanced data solutions. Their partnership ecosystem includes well-known technology companies and open source projects, enhancing their competitive advantage. Growth indicators include active publishing of annual reports and client testimonials from reputable organizations. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting credibility and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and certain security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options presents potential risks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder transparency and trust in security matters. Forms are secured via HTTPS, and no sensitive data exposure was detected. The use of Cloudflare DNS suggests some level of DDoS protection and CDN benefits. Overall, security is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and publishing incident response contacts.

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 risks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, jQuery, and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading and caching implied. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates areas for modernization. The analytics implementation uses privacy-focused Plausible Analytics, reflecting a commitment to user privacy.
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.
