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 a B2B SaaS business model targeting enterprises and large businesses needing advanced fraud prevention. Their competitive advantage lies in AI and machine learning capabilities combined with a large data network. The company is well-positioned in the technology sector with a focus on identity trust and fraud detection. Their marketing and content strategy emphasize trust, growth enablement, and customer success. The company has a medium-sized workforce and a long domain history dating back to 1995, supporting their credibility. Social media and structured data reinforce their brand presence and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and employs New Relic for performance and error monitoring. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which could be a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  3. Add X-Content-Type-Options and other recommended security headers.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page.
  5. Provide a security contact email or vulnerability disclosure channel.

Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-maintained.
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.
