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. 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"

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the government technology sector, targeting U.S. federal agencies, defense, and intelligence communities. Their business model focuses on B2G software and services, emphasizing security, compliance, and mission-critical reliability. Key competitive advantages include government-grade certifications, a dedicated U.S.-based support team, and partnerships with established technology providers like SUSE and Platform One. Revenue streams likely derive from software subscriptions, support contracts, and consulting services. The company’s digital presence is mature, leveraging HubSpot for marketing and content management, and maintaining active social media channels. Strategic partnerships and certifications enhance their ecosystem and market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized changes, indicating a baseline security maturity. Certifications and compliance badges signal adherence to government security standards. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and rapid response capabilities. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, potentially exposing compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to enhance compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, integrating modern JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js for sliders and Prism.js for code highlighting. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Adobe DTM, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting appears stable with GoDaddy as the domain registrar and HubSpot hosting the content. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve security posture.
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.
