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

SimIS, Inc. is a Veteran Owned Small Business founded in 2007 specializing in modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, autonomous solutions, and government IT services. The company serves primarily U.S. Department of Defense and federal agencies, offering innovative technology solutions including military-grade robotics and autonomous platforms. Their market position is that of a niche, trusted government contractor with a focus on innovation and quality. Technically, the website is built on a proprietary CMS with Foundation framework and uses modern web technologies including JavaScript and Google Analytics. The site is mobile optimized and well-structured, though some accessibility and security header improvements are possible. Security posture is solid with HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website reflects a professional and credible business with strong trust indicators and a clear focus on government and defense sectors.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

SimIS operates in the government and technology sectors, leveraging its Veteran Owned Small Business status to secure contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and federal agencies. Their business model focuses on delivering specialized IT solutions including modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, autonomous unmanned systems, and test and evaluation services. The company maintains partnerships with key defense organizations and has a portfolio of innovative products such as robotic trainers and autonomous maritime systems. Growth indicators include recent certifications and active participation in trade shows and events. The company targets government clients and commercial sectors requiring advanced simulation and security solutions. Their strategic positioning as a niche provider with strong government ties supports sustainable business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of explicit incident response contacts or security policies limits transparency in security governance. Forms include basic validation but no advanced anti-bot or CAPTCHA mechanisms were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent banners and GDPR-specific disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, incident response transparency, and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a proprietary CMS (SimIS CMS) built on the Foundation framework with JavaScript and jQuery for interactivity. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with clear navigation menus and multimedia content. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. However, the lack of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for modernization. The technical stack is appropriate for the business size and sector but could benefit from updates to security and privacy features to align with current best practices.
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.
