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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Microsoft Teams holds a leading position in the collaboration software market, leveraging Microsoft's extensive ecosystem. The free tier targets individuals, freelancers, educators, and small businesses, supporting user acquisition and engagement. Revenue is primarily driven through Microsoft 365 subscriptions and enterprise services. The website's integration with Microsoft login and CDN services indicates a robust partnership ecosystem and strong operational infrastructure. The absence of direct contact details on this page aligns with Microsoft's centralized support model. The platform's features such as live captions, screen sharing, and background customization enhance competitive advantage and user retention.

Security posture

The website employs modern security best practices including HTTPS encryption, OAuth2 authentication for user login, and client-side input validation. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs limits transparency. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. The cookie consent banner complies with GDPR requirements, indicating good privacy practices. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced public security documentation and explicit contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure program.
  3. Implement and verify presence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Enhance transparency by listing Data Protection Officer contact details.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with bundling via RSPack and Webpack. It leverages Microsoft Azure CDN for asset delivery and Microsoft login services for authentication. The site is highly performant with fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features such as focus traps and semantic HTML are present. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. The technical infrastructure is robust and scalable, suitable for enterprise-grade service delivery. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and publish more detailed technical documentation.
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.
