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. 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

  3. 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

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

Via Transportation's business model centers on providing end-to-end transit software and operational solutions to public and private sector clients. Their revenue streams likely include software licensing, managed services, and consulting. The company leverages partnerships to enhance its offerings and market reach. The website content and navigation clearly segment target audiences and solutions, indicating a strategic approach to customer engagement. The presence of multilingual support and extensive resource content suggests a global and knowledge-driven growth strategy. The company is positioned as a leader in transportation technology with a focus on innovation and equity in transit.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of advanced bot protection via reCAPTCHA Enterprise, and domain registration protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance DNS security. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a common area for improvement in corporate transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is strong but could be improved by publishing formal security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize risk exposure.

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure and built using HubSpot CMS, integrating multiple modern marketing and analytics technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Reddit Pixel, and Visual Website Optimizer. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with video and image assets optimized for responsiveness. The use of Weglot enables multilingual support, enhancing global reach. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is recommended to avoid potential security or performance issues.
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.
