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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Storm Technology operates in the technology sector, focusing on Microsoft digital workplace transformation and cloud solutions. Their business model centers on providing tailored technology solutions that integrate deeply with Microsoft platforms, targeting medium-sized to large enterprises seeking digital transformation. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem within the Microsoft ecosystem and maintains a reputable market position supported by certifications and client success stories. Revenue streams likely include managed services, consulting, software implementation, and support. Their target customers span multiple industries including public sector, construction, hospitality, retail, medical, aviation, and charity sectors. The company demonstrates growth through continuous service expansion and event hosting, indicating active market engagement.

Security posture

Storm Technology exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, ISO 27001 certification, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. However, the absence of certain security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and explicit incident response contacts suggests areas for enhancement. There is no public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the company appears compliant with GDPR and other relevant regulations, but should consider formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to elevate security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Storyblok CMS. It integrates third-party services such as Calendly for scheduling and LinkedIn Insight for marketing analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of Microsoft ecosystem tools suggests Azure or similar cloud hosting. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
