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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SSH operates as a professional services firm focused on architecture and engineering sectors within the real estate and construction industries. Their business model centers on delivering consultancy services with local knowledge and international delivery capabilities. The company maintains multiple regional offices across GCC countries and Africa, indicating a large operational footprint. Their market position is strong, supported by industry rankings and a broad portfolio of projects showcased on the website. The firm leverages social media channels for brand presence and client engagement. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data for their domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses secure forms via Contact Form 7. There are no visible exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, indicating potential gaps in security governance and transparency. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is basic due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security maturity and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and FontAwesome for icons. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and Google Analytics is used for traffic monitoring. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved accessibility and security header configurations. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence aligned with the company's business goals.
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.
