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

TAS group is a leading Italian ICT company specializing in digital payment software and services for banks, fintechs, and corporates. The company offers a comprehensive Global Payment Platform and a suite of solutions covering digital payments, capital markets, real-time liquidity, financial networks, and PSD2 compliance. TAS is recognized in the IDC FinTech Top 100 and holds certifications such as UNI/PdR 125:2022, reflecting its commitment to social responsibility and workplace equality. The website targets financial institutions and technology providers, positioning TAS as a trusted partner in the evolving payments ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and technologies including Kadence Blocks, HubSpot forms, and advanced analytics tools like Matomo and Plausible. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with strong SEO practices and structured data markup enhancing discoverability and user experience. However, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, suggesting room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site implements several important HTTP security headers but lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support TLS protocols, severely impacting its security posture. The absence of HTTPS and related best practices exposes the site to risks and undermines user trust. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, consent mechanisms, and GDPR adherence. Overall, TAS group presents a professional and credible online presence with strong business and technical foundations. The primary risk lies in the lack of proper SSL/TLS configuration, which should be urgently addressed to secure communications and maintain trust. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing security configurations to align with industry best practices.

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

4 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

    • 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

  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

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.

Business context

Business profile

TAS group operates in the financial technology sector, focusing on digital payment solutions for banks, fintechs, and corporates. Its business model revolves around providing modular, scalable software platforms and services that enable clients to modernize payment infrastructures, comply with regulatory requirements, and innovate in open banking and embedded finance. The company leverages partnerships, such as with Worldpay, to extend its market reach and enhance service offerings. TAS's inclusion in the IDC FinTech Top 100 for 16 consecutive years underscores its market leadership and sustained growth. The presence of subsidiaries like TAS Iberia indicates regional expansion. TAS targets a B2B audience, emphasizing collaboration and technological independence. Its strategic focus on compliance, customer-centric delivery, and modular architecture positions it well for future market demands.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of TAS group's website is moderate to low due to critical gaps in SSL/TLS implementation. While the site employs several security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant vulnerabilities. These issues expose the site to potential interception, downgrade attacks, and loss of data confidentiality. No known malware or phishing indicators were detected. Privacy policies and consent mechanisms are in place, indicating compliance awareness. However, incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which may impact readiness and transparency. The security culture appears to prioritize policy and certification but requires urgent technical improvements to secure user interactions and data.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to ensure secure encrypted communications.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and configurations to align with best practices.
  6. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  7. Optimize website performance to improve load times and user experience.
  8. Consider adding direct contact information such as verified company emails and phone numbers for improved accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Kadence Blocks for layout and design, integrating advanced features such as Lottie animations and HubSpot forms for lead generation and contact. Analytics are implemented via Matomo, Plausible, and HubSpot, reflecting a mature digital marketing approach. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks, with responsive design and accessibility considerations. However, performance data is missing or indicates slow loading, suggesting potential technical debt or resource optimization needs. Hosting appears to be on a dedicated IP without DNSSEC or CAA records, which could be improved for security. The lack of SSL/TLS is a critical technical risk that overshadows other positive technical aspects.
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.
