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

Statista is a leading online statistics portal specializing in aggregating market data, consumer surveys, and industry studies from over 22,500 sources. The platform targets business professionals, researchers, and marketers, offering subscription-based access to a vast repository of statistical data. The website demonstrates a strong market position as a trusted source for market research and data analytics, primarily serving the media sector in Germany. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and consent management tools like OneTrust, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience across devices. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and manages cookie consent effectively, reflecting a mature security posture. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data due to privacy protection limits domain registration transparency. Overall, Statista presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious digital presence with high trustworthiness and excellent content quality.

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

Business profile

Statista operates a subscription-based business model focused on delivering comprehensive market data and research insights. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and depth of its data sources and the ease of access provided through its portal. The company targets a global audience of professionals requiring reliable statistics for decision-making. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms indicates a sophisticated approach to user engagement and data-driven marketing. While no explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified in the provided data, the company maintains a consistent brand and strong trust signals. Growth indicators include extensive content offerings and a well-structured platform that supports diverse user needs.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of consent management tools aligns with GDPR compliance requirements, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response page, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism suggests areas for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The presence of a data protection officer contact email indicates some level of data protection governance. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced public-facing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer and incident contact information on the website.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing security headers and SSL/TLS configurations to maintain high security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack with asynchronous JavaScript loading, Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, and OneTrust for consent management. The presence of structured data using JSON-LD enhances SEO and content discoverability. Performance indicators suggest fast loading times and excellent mobile optimization. Accessibility features appear adequate, supporting a broad user base. No CMS was explicitly detected, indicating a possible custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details were not discernible from the provided data. The technical implementation reflects a mature and well-maintained digital infrastructure suitable for a large enterprise-level data provider.
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.
