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

4 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

SoftCo holds a strong market position as a niche leader in P2P automation, leveraging AI and machine learning to differentiate from broad vendors. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS solutions for finance departments in large organizations. The company emphasizes customer satisfaction, evidenced by high NPS scores and extensive client testimonials. Their partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. The website content and structured data confirm a global reach with offices and clients primarily in the US, UK, and Ireland. Growth indicators include recent Gartner recognition and active participation in industry events. The company also promotes ESG initiatives and community engagement, enhancing brand reputation.

Security posture

SoftCo maintains a robust security posture with enforced HTTPS and ISO 27001 certification, indicating mature information security management. The website implements cookie consent and privacy policies compliant with GDPR. While some security headers like Content-Security-Policy are partially implemented, there is room for improvement by adding X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could be a gap in transparency. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were detected. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement full Content-Security-Policy headers and monitor for CSP violations to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks.
  3. Publish an incident response contact or security@ email address to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and optimized tech stack including WP Rocket for caching and lazy loading, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and WPML for multilingual support. It uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. The site loads quickly and is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. Multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools are integrated, including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and HubSpot forms. The technical implementation reflects a mature digital infrastructure suitable for enterprise clients. Opportunities exist to further enhance security headers and streamline third-party script usage to reduce potential attack surface.
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.
