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

Statista is a leading statistics portal providing market data, consumer survey results, and industry studies aggregated 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 market intelligence and data visualization tools. Statista holds a strong market position as a trusted data provider with a large global user base. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks, Segment analytics, Hotjar, Braze, and Google Tag Manager, supported by a CDN for fast content delivery. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, Statista enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configurations and implements security headers such as Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of OneTrust for consent management demonstrates compliance with GDPR and privacy best practices. No significant vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, indicating a robust security posture. Overall, Statista presents a low-risk profile with high trustworthiness, professional content, and strong privacy compliance. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for a commercial data provider. Strategic recommendations include maintaining regular security audits, enhancing incident response visibility, and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.

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 operates in the technology and media sectors, offering essential market data services through a subscription model. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and depth of aggregated data, user-friendly visualization tools, and global reach. Revenue streams primarily come from subscriptions and data licensing. The target customer segments include enterprises, academic institutions, and marketing agencies. The company demonstrates growth through continuous content expansion and integration of advanced analytics tools. Partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms like Segment and Braze enhance its ecosystem. The website's professional design and comprehensive policies reflect a mature and credible business operation.

Security posture

Statista exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and consent management aligned with GDPR. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools with consent controls. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The company should consider publishing explicit security policies and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security culture appears strong, with room for improvement in incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  2. Enhance transparency by providing a dedicated security policy page detailing frameworks and incident response procedures.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Maintain and monitor security headers and SSL configurations to uphold strong security posture.
  5. Expand data retention and privacy policy details to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern and performant infrastructure with extensive use of JavaScript libraries and analytics platforms. It employs CDN delivery for static assets, ensuring fast load times globally. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) improves SEO and content discoverability. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. The technical stack includes advanced consent management and user tracking mechanisms, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Potential risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the technical foundation supports a scalable and secure user experience.
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.
