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

Striven is a small business-focused technology company offering an all-in-one business management software suite that integrates accounting, CRM, project management, and other essential business functions. The company positions itself as an affordable and comprehensive SaaS solution for small to midsize businesses, emphasizing ease of use and total transparency. The website is professionally designed with strong branding consistency and includes customer testimonials and success stories that reinforce trust and market credibility. The parent company is identified as Miles IT Company, which also provides website design services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and various analytics and marketing tools. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, with structured data and Open Graph metadata implemented for enhanced search and social media presence. Performance is moderate with good user experience and navigation clarity. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and privacy compliance. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it raises questions about domain registration legitimacy. However, the professional nature of the website and business information partially mitigate this risk. No explicit contact emails or phone numbers were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency. Overall, Striven presents a credible and professional business software offering with a solid technical foundation but should address privacy compliance and domain registration transparency to strengthen trust and security posture.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Striven operates in the competitive SMB SaaS market, offering a unified platform that replaces multiple disconnected business applications. Its competitive advantage lies in affordability, comprehensive feature set, and ease of use tailored for small to midsize businesses. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with major platforms like WooCommerce, Stripe, Shopify, and Microsoft, enhancing its ecosystem. The presence of customer success stories and recognitions from reputable sources like Forbes and Gartner supports its market positioning. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and possibly professional services. The target customers are SMBs seeking integrated business management solutions. The parent company, Miles IT Company, supports Striven's operations and digital presence. Growth indicators include active content updates, video testimonials, and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a gap. The absence of a cookie consent banner or mechanism indicates incomplete GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency in security management. The WHOIS data absence is a potential red flag for domain legitimacy. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts, which may increase privacy risks if not properly managed. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user trust and legal compliance.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security transparency and readiness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data for the domain to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and user confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery and various analytics and marketing integrations. It uses Vimeo for video content and LightSlider for UI components. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for rich search results. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, tracking, and marketing, which should be monitored for privacy compliance. No hosting provider information was detected. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
