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

1 finding 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

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

Showpad operates in the technology sector, focusing on sales enablement SaaS solutions. Their business model revolves around providing a unified platform that integrates content management, training, AI-driven coaching, and analytics to improve sales team effectiveness and buyer engagement. The company targets enterprise sales organizations and marketing teams, leveraging partnerships and integrations to expand market reach. The merger with Bigtincan enhances their competitive positioning and product offering. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and professional services. The company maintains a strong ecosystem with partner portals and developer resources, indicating a strategic focus on extensibility and customer community engagement.

Security posture

Showpad exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive security headers, bot management via Cloudflare, and Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse. Cookie consent is managed through CookieYes, supporting GDPR compliance. The presence of a responsible disclosure page indicates an established incident response process. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be a potential area for DNS security improvement. The absence of explicit Data Protection Officer contact information is noted but does not significantly detract from overall compliance. The security score is high, reflecting good practices aligned with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase visibility of incident response contact channels on the website for faster communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, and uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Marketo, Microsoft Clarity, and Cloudflare services. Performance is optimized with caching, lazy loading, and preloading of fonts and stylesheets. The site is fully responsive with excellent mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to user engagement and conversion optimization. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for DNSSEC implementation and security.txt publication to further modernize the security posture.
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.
