0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Smart Payment Technologies is a UK-based payment technology company founded in 2016, providing innovative, secure, and scalable payment solutions globally. Their business model focuses on delivering integrated payment software and devices tailored to diverse business needs, supported by comprehensive services including solution development, implementation, maintenance, and compliance. The company positions itself as an agile global technology partner with a broad client base including notable brands. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, and secured with HTTPS. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as security and incident response disclosures, indicates areas for compliance improvement. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy, with moderate to good technical and security posture.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  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

    • 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

The company targets businesses requiring flexible payment solutions, offering a single platform integrating software and devices for local and global deployment. Their market positioning is strengthened by partnerships and a global presence with distribution hubs in the UK, Europe, USA, and Asia. The business model likely includes revenue from software licensing, device sales, and service contracts. The website showcases client logos and emphasizes customization, flexibility, and reach, indicating a competitive advantage in tailored payment solutions. The partnership with smartpaytech.online as a shop suggests an ecosystem approach. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with active marketing and analytics integration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare DNS, enhancing security and availability. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a dedicated security or incident response page with contact channels for reporting issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel for sliders, Tippy.js for tooltips, Popper.js for positioning, and analytics/tracking scripts from Google and Facebook. The site is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and uses eNom as registrar. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Some technical debt is indicated by missing DNSSEC and security headers. The site is well-structured and professionally designed, but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security hardening.
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.
