Sphinax Info Systems is a Chennai-based software solution company with over 9 years of experience providing customized ERP solutions, SAP implementation, web and mobile application development, IT infrastructure management, and HR management software. The company targets businesses in Chennai and India seeking comprehensive IT and ERP services.

Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various third-party integrations such as Google Analytics and Tawk.to live chat. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

  4. 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

The company operates in the technology sector, focusing on B2B software services and product development, including ERP and SAP services, Java development, and IT infrastructure. Their business model revolves around delivering customized software solutions to small and medium enterprises primarily in Chennai and India. The company has a stable market presence with over 10 years of domain age and multiple client testimonials. They maintain an active social media presence and provide clear contact information, enhancing credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company leverages partnerships with clients in various industries such as manufacturing and trading. Growth indicators include recent projects and a diverse service portfolio.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain has a clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options increases risk exposure. No incident response or security policy is published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential attack surfaces. There is no evidence of GDPR compliance mechanisms like cookie consent banners. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surface.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates several third-party libraries and services such as Google Analytics for tracking, ShareThis for social sharing, and Tawk.to for live chat support. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. However, the absence of a CMS suggests manual content management which may impact scalability. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is PDR Ltd. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and some SEO best practices could be enhanced. Overall, the technical implementation is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
