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

2 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. 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

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 positions itself as a niche expert in the HR software review market, leveraging detailed research to guide purchasing decisions. Their business model revolves around content-driven lead generation and possibly affiliate partnerships, supported by a robust marketing ecosystem including Google Ads, Bing Ads, HubSpot, and VWO for optimization. The target audience is clearly defined as HR and recruiting teams, and the company maintains a small but focused operational size. The presence of structured data and social media links enhances their market credibility and outreach capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of security headers, and integration of reCAPTCHA for form protection. The deployment of nonce attributes on scripts and careful management of third-party scripts indicate attention to security best practices. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of a dedicated security or incident response page represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis, and the overall security score is high, reflecting a mature security implementation for a small business.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently linked in the website footer.
  2. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page.
  3. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Visual Website Optimizer. Performance is optimized with CDN delivery and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. The technical stack supports A/B testing and marketing automation, indicating a digitally mature infrastructure for a small business. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
