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

10 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Scala Assistance operates in the transportation and insurance sectors, targeting both B2C and B2B markets. Its competitive advantage lies in early adoption of online sales for roviniete and a broad service offering that includes insurance and road-related services. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem, notably with roviniete.ro and taxadepod.ro, enhancing its service delivery. Growth indicators include a large network of retail partners and a high volume of unique visitors. The business model leverages digital platforms for service distribution and customer engagement, supported by certifications that reinforce trust. Strategic observations suggest continued innovation and expansion in service scope and geographic reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and ISO 27001 certification, indicating a formal information security management system. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers and lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information represent gaps that could be addressed to enhance security maturity and compliance. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from increased transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish an incident response contact or abuse email to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance regarding user tracking and cookies.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to prevent potential vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the The7 theme and Elementor page builder, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses modern JavaScript modules and APIs such as IntersectionObserver for lazy loading. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility basics. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. The technical stack is standard for professional service websites, with no critical technical debt observed. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement advanced accessibility features to further improve user experience and compliance.
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.
