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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  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

Sift operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on AI-driven fraud prevention and identity trust services. Their business model is primarily B2B SaaS, targeting enterprises and large businesses that require scalable fraud detection solutions. The company leverages machine learning and a vast data network to provide real-time fraud decisioning. Their market position is strong, supported by a large customer base and recognized brand partnerships. The website's content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement, with integrations for marketing automation and analytics. Social media presence across major platforms enhances brand visibility and trust. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating Sift operates as an independent entity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy. Forms use Marketo for data capture but lack visible security or privacy disclosures. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies suggests partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer details if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure all third-party libraries are up to date to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Bricks Builder framework, incorporating modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and AOS for animations. It integrates marketing automation via Marketo and performance monitoring through New Relic Browser. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting and DNS are managed through reputable providers, including Google Domains and MarkMonitor Inc. The site demonstrates fast loading times and professional design quality. Technical risks are minimal but include the lack of DNSSEC and incomplete privacy and security disclosures.
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.
