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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

Sawayo operates in the HR technology sector, offering an integrated SaaS platform that addresses critical employer compliance needs. Its business model includes free trials and demos to attract customers, with a focus on medium-sized enterprises and HR departments. The company benefits from partnerships with Infoniqa and holds multiple certifications and awards that enhance its market credibility. The product suite covers essential HR functions, positioning Sawayo competitively in the digital HR tools market. The website's content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a strong market presence. The partnership ecosystem includes Infoniqa and notable certifications, indicating strategic alignment and growth potential.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Matomo analytics is used, favoring privacy over more intrusive trackers. Cookies are set with Secure and SameSite flags, reducing risk of cross-site attacks. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the provided data, suggesting potential for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by formalizing security governance documentation and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Add HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Include data protection officer contact details if applicable to improve GDPR transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies including jQuery and integration with third-party services such as Matomo for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management. Multi-language support is implemented via Weglot. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, contributing to fast load times and good mobile optimization. The site uses canonical links, Open Graph, and Twitter meta tags for SEO and social sharing optimization. The technical implementation is modern and well-structured, with no visible technical debt or performance bottlenecks. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risk.
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.
