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

Statista is a leading statistics portal providing market data, market research, and industry studies from over 22,500 sources covering more than 60,000 topics. The company targets business professionals, researchers, marketers, and academics with a subscription-based business model offering extensive data and analytics services. Statista holds a strong market position as a trusted source for statistical data and insights, primarily operating from Germany. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent content quality and professional branding consistency. Technically, Statista employs a modern technology stack including advanced analytics platforms such as Segment, Hotjar, Braze, and Pendo, alongside Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for consent management. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified but the infrastructure supports fast loading and a seamless user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers including CSP and HSTS. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR adherence and active consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response page suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, Statista presents a low-risk profile with a high level of trustworthiness and professionalism. The lack of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified given the business nature. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

Statista operates as a subscription-based data provider specializing in market statistics and research. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and depth of its data sources and the professional presentation of insights. Revenue streams primarily come from subscriptions and data licensing. The target customers are business professionals and researchers requiring reliable statistical data. The company shows indicators of growth through extensive use of marketing and analytics tools and maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with data providers. The website's professional content and clear business information support its market credibility and operational maturity.

Security posture

Statista demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. The integration of consent management tools like OneTrust and analytics platforms with privacy considerations indicates a strong data protection culture. No immediate vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations were found. However, the absence of a public incident response or security policy page limits transparency. The company should consider publishing a security.txt file and incident response details to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is high with minor gaps in public documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal incident response and security policy page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to align with privacy best practices.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and testing of security headers and SSL configurations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technical infrastructure with advanced analytics and marketing tools integrated seamlessly. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with proper meta tags and structured data for SEO. The lack of explicit CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed but inferred to be reliable given performance metrics. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security management.
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.
