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. 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

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

Speedcast operates as an essential entity in the telecommunications sector, focusing on satellite communication services for enterprise clients across multiple verticals including energy, maritime, mining, and government. Their business model centers on providing managed connectivity solutions, network management, and professional services with a global footprint. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and leverages advanced technologies such as IoT and cloud integration to differentiate itself. Growth indicators include recent press releases about certifications and new service offerings. The website content and social media presence reinforce their market leadership and commitment to innovation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data detected in the HTML content. Cookie consent is implemented with user preferences and decline options, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of active Content-Security-Policy headers and lack of explicit incident response or security contact information represent gaps. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were identified. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Activate and enforce a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and security contact channels.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Select2, Slick Carousel, and Vimeo player integration. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) providing rich metadata. Performance optimizations include WP Rocket caching and lazy loading of images and iframes. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and user experience. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous security monitoring. The site lacks active Content-Security-Policy headers which is a modernization opportunity to improve security posture.
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.
