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

7 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 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
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

  3. 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.

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

Squiz operates in the enterprise technology sector, focusing on digital experience management solutions delivered primarily via SaaS. Their competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that integrates multiple digital capabilities, catering to lean teams in service-led organizations. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, consulting, migration, and support services. The company targets large organizations requiring scalable, secure, and personalized digital experiences. Their partnership ecosystem includes a dedicated partner portal and network, enhancing market reach and implementation capabilities. Growth indicators include active content marketing, customer testimonials, and continuous product development showcased via webinars and a product roadmap. Strategic observations highlight a focus on innovation, customer-centric design, and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. The absence of explicit security headers and a security.txt file suggests opportunities to strengthen defenses and transparency. No direct incident response contacts or abuse reporting channels were found, which could impact rapid response capabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and improving incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact channels on the website to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy standards.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squiz Matrix CMS and Digital Experience Platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Heap Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Influ2 for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with asynchronous script loading and optimized assets. The technical stack supports a rich user experience with advanced search, personalization, and content management features. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and incident response mechanisms. The absence of hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment but the presence of multiple cloud-based services suggests a hybrid or SaaS hosting model.
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.
