NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside

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

Sanity operates in the technology sector focusing on content management and AI automation. Its competitive advantage lies in its customizable, developer-friendly platform that integrates AI and serverless compute capabilities. The business model is SaaS with revenue streams likely from subscriptions and enterprise contracts. The target customers include developers, content teams, and business leaders seeking scalable content solutions. The company demonstrates growth through community engagement, events, and a broad ecosystem of integrations. Strategic partnerships and a strong brand presence support its market position. The absence of public WHOIS data is mitigated by strong website professionalism and trust signals.

Security posture

Sanity exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no visible security vulnerabilities. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicate compliance with GDPR and related regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program was found, which could enhance trust and security culture. Overall, the platform appears secure and well-managed from a business perspective, with recommendations to formalize security communications and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure program.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

It uses serverless functions and AI integrations to power content operations. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with proper meta tags and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with efficient asset loading and CDN usage. Technical debt appears low, and the infrastructure supports scalability and developer productivity. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security-related technical documentation.
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.
