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

SoSafe is a leading European provider specializing in security awareness training and human risk management solutions. The company offers a behavioral science-based platform that empowers organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture by educating employees and managing human-related risks. Positioned as Europe's largest provider in this niche, SoSafe delivers personalized, gamified training, phishing simulations, an AI-powered chatbot, and a comprehensive human risk management platform. Their market presence is reinforced by multiple certifications including ISO 27001, TISAX, and GDPR compliance, alongside strong customer testimonials and industry recognitions. Technically, SoSafe's website is built on WordPress and integrates a robust set of analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Matomo, Cookiebot for consent management, HubSpot forms, and Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing. The infrastructure is hosted on Amazon AWS with DNS managed via Route53. While the site supports modern TLS protocols and has valid SPF and DMARC records, it lacks DNSSEC, CAA records, and HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced security. The website performance is moderate to slow, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, SoSafe demonstrates good practices including strong SSL configuration, OCSP stapling, and comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms. However, there is no public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, and incident response contact details are not explicitly provided. The company maintains a strong security posture with certifications and compliance but could improve transparency and DNS security. Overall, SoSafe presents a mature digital presence with a focus on privacy and compliance, extensive integration with enterprise platforms, and a clear commitment to security awareness. Strategic improvements in DNS security and incident response transparency would further strengthen their security posture and trustworthiness.

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. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

  3. 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 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

Business profile

SoSafe operates in the cybersecurity awareness and human risk management market, targeting medium to large enterprises seeking to mitigate human-related security risks. Their competitive advantage lies in leveraging behavioral science, gamification, and AI to deliver engaging and personalized training solutions. The business model is SaaS-based, offering modular products including e-learning, phishing simulations, AI chatbots, and risk management platforms. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and enterprise licensing. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem with integrations into major platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Okta, SAP, and ServiceNow, enhancing their market reach and product value. Growth indicators include a large user base (4.5M+ users), industry awards, and a broad multilingual website presence. SoSafe emphasizes compliance and trust, which is critical in the cybersecurity domain, and actively promotes career opportunities to attract talent.

Security posture

SoSafe exhibits a mature security posture with adherence to recognized frameworks such as ISO 27001, TISAX, and GDPR. The website employs modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.3 and 1.2) with OCSP stapling enabled, ensuring secure communications. SPF and DMARC records are properly configured to protect email domains from spoofing. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records represents a gap in DNS security, potentially exposing the domain to DNS spoofing or unauthorized certificate issuance. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, leveraging Cookiebot to ensure GDPR compliance and user consent management. However, no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. The site is free from known SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, FREAK, and Logjam. Overall, SoSafe maintains a strong security culture but should enhance transparency around incident response and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent DNS spoofing attacks.
  3. Add Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS records to restrict which CAs can issue certificates for the domain.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure guidelines and contact information.
  5. Enhance session resumption security details and optimize website load performance to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure with DNS managed by AWS Route53. It uses a variety of third-party technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Matomo, Cookiebot for consent management, HubSpot forms, Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing, and Facebook and Bing tracking pixels. The site supports modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.3 and 1.2) with OCSP stapling but lacks HSTS and DNSSEC. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (~12.9 seconds) with a large page size (~513 KB) and many resources (184). The site is well optimized for mobile and accessibility with good SEO practices including hreflang tags for multilingual support and structured data (JSON-LD). There is room for improvement in DNS security and performance optimization to reduce latency and enhance user experience.
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.
