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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

SOFTEC operates primarily in the B2B IT services market, focusing on digital transformation and integration for regulated industries such as banking and telecommunications. Their competitive advantage lies in deep domain expertise, long-term client relationships with leading banks and telecoms, and a portfolio of innovative solutions including biometric identity verification and cloud-based systems. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting, software development, and managed services. The company targets enterprise clients requiring complex IT integration and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Growth indicators include expansion into new markets like Austria and continuous development of SaaS products. The partnership ecosystem includes specialized technology providers and digital platforms. Strategic observations highlight SOFTEC's emphasis on agility, cloud adoption, and security compliance to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

SOFTEC demonstrates a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and adherence to recognized standards such as PCI PA-DSS and PSD2. The use of biometric verification and cloud infrastructure indicates advanced security controls. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through detailed privacy policies and consent mechanisms. The company would benefit from publishing dedicated security documentation and establishing clear incident reporting channels to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security incident response team.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies for analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and conduct external penetration testing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React, Next.js, Kotlin, Spring Boot, and cloud platforms such as AWS and OpenShift, ensuring scalability and performance. The use of a headless CMS (Strapi) facilitates content management and localization. Performance is optimized with preloading, responsive images, and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and dependencies is advised to avoid vulnerabilities. The architecture supports agile development and DevOps practices, positioning SOFTEC well for future digital initiatives.
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.
