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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

SaasUp operates in the creative services sector, focusing on brand strategy and digital presence for small to medium businesses in North America. The business model revolves around providing tailored creative solutions including branding, website design, and marketing collateral. The company is newly founded, which aligns with the domain registration date, indicating a consistent and legitimate startup. The lack of visible contact information and policies suggests the website may still be under development or in early stages of deployment. The use of modern web technologies and tracking tools indicates a digital maturity level suitable for competitive positioning in the creative agency market. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, and the company appears to be independent. Growth potential exists if compliance and security practices are improved to build trust with prospective clients.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and the domain is registered with protections against unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The site uses third-party analytics and tracking scripts, which require proper privacy disclosures that are currently missing. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents effectively. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they comply with privacy regulations and do not expose sensitive data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Framer platform, leveraging modern web fonts and responsive design techniques. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics and user tracking. The domain is registered via GoDaddy.com, LLC with standard domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires enhancements in security and privacy to reduce risks and improve trustworthiness.
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.
