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

Statista is a leading online statistics portal providing market data, sector studies, and data analysis services primarily targeting business professionals, researchers, and marketers. The website offers access to a vast database of statistics from over 22,500 sources covering more than 60,000 topics. It operates on a subscription-based business model and holds a strong market position in France and globally as a trusted provider of market intelligence. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, Segment Analytics, Hotjar, Braze, and OneTrust for privacy compliance. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO and accessibility features. The use of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers. Privacy compliance is robust with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and active consent mechanisms. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. Overall, Statista.fr presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious web presence with high content quality and business credibility. The absence of WHOIS data for the subdomain is normal and does not detract from legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response transparency.

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

  • 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.fr is positioned as a premier provider of statistical data and market research, serving a broad audience of business professionals and academics. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and depth of its data sources and the ease of access through a subscription platform. Revenue streams are primarily subscription fees and data services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with sister sites in multiple languages, enhancing its global reach. Growth indicators include extensive use of analytics and marketing tools, indicating active user engagement and data-driven decision making. The business model emphasizes data quality, user experience, and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management via OneTrust. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, reflecting GDPR compliance. No direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels suggests gaps in transparency and readiness. The site would benefit from publishing these documents and establishing clear communication channels for security incidents to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technical infrastructure with a focus on performance and user experience. Technologies include advanced JavaScript frameworks, CDN delivery, and integration with multiple analytics and marketing platforms. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but likely use a CDN and cloud infrastructure for fast content delivery. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
