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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Basis Technologies operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on advertising automation for enterprise clients. The business model is B2B SaaS, targeting digital marketing professionals and agencies. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding, which supports its market position as a leading provider. Integration with major ad networks and marketing tools suggests a strong partnership ecosystem. The website content and structured data confirm a focus on innovation and comprehensive service offerings, which likely contribute to steady growth and competitive advantage in the digital advertising space.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies aligns with GDPR compliance, but no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found. Publishing a security.txt file and enhancing HTTP headers would strengthen the security posture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options HTTP headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS enhanced with Oxygen Builder, using jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Pardot, Microsoft Clarity, and Convert Experiences, indicating a sophisticated marketing technology stack. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting and DNS are managed professionally with NameCheap as registrar and DigiCert DNS servers. The site could benefit from performance optimization and additional security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
