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 platform targets business professionals, researchers, marketers, and academics, offering subscription-based access to comprehensive data and consumer survey results. The website is professionally designed, well-branded, and positioned as a trusted source in the media and technology sectors, primarily operating from Germany. Technically, Statista employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Segment Analytics, Hotjar, Pendo, Braze, and Google Tag Manager, supported by a CDN for fast content delivery. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, although accessibility could be further enhanced. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are robust and GDPR compliant. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers. It uses consent-based tracking and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure programs are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. Overall, Statista presents a low-risk profile with high professionalism and trustworthiness. The main concern is the lack of WHOIS transparency, which may be due to privacy protection or registry issues. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, enhancing accessibility, and increasing transparency around security and incident response.

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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

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

Statista holds a strong market position as a comprehensive statistics and market data provider, leveraging a subscription-based business model. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and depth of data sources and topics covered, appealing to a wide range of professional users globally. Revenue streams primarily come from subscriptions and data licensing. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem with various analytics and marketing service providers. Growth indicators include extensive use of modern marketing tools and a well-maintained digital presence. The company operates mainly in the media and technology sectors with a large organizational size based in Germany.

Security posture

Statista demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong SSL configuration, and multiple security headers. The use of consent management tools aligns with GDPR requirements, and tracking is consent-based. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs indicates gaps in transparency and readiness communication. The security culture appears focused on compliance and user privacy but could benefit from enhanced public documentation and certifications.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is robust, leveraging a CDN and modern JavaScript libraries for analytics and user engagement. The tech stack includes Segment, Hotjar, Pendo, Braze, and Google Tag Manager, indicating advanced tracking and marketing capabilities. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed but inferred to be professional-grade. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised.
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.
