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

TCOG is a Belgium-based technology company specializing in ERP software solutions tailored for the fashion, retail, hospitality, and industry sectors. They position themselves as a trusted Microsoft IT partner, focusing on implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to automate and optimize business processes. Their market presence is supported by over 225 satisfied customers and a team of more than 90 industry experts, indicating a solid mid-sized enterprise with a strong regional footprint. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks such as Elementor and Astra theme, with integrations for analytics and marketing automation tools like Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and formalized security policies such as incident response or vulnerability disclosure. Privacy compliance is basic, with no explicit privacy or cookie policies detected, which could be improved to meet GDPR standards more robustly. Overall, the website and business appear legitimate and professional, though enhancements in privacy transparency and security best practices are recommended to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

11 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

TCOG operates in a competitive ERP software market, focusing on niche verticals like fashion, retail, hospitality, and industry. Their partnership with Microsoft and specialization in Dynamics 365 Business Central provide a competitive advantage. The business model centers on software implementation and consulting services, targeting medium-sized enterprises seeking integrated ERP solutions. The presence of a Dutch sister site indicates regional expansion. Marketing efforts leverage content marketing (blogs), events, and direct contact channels. The company emphasizes customer satisfaction and industry expertise as key differentiators.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers and privacy disclosures would significantly improve the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website against attacks.
  3. Publish a security incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Deploy a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Astra theme, indicating a flexible and widely supported platform. Integration of Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer shows a focus on analytics and conversion optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some deferred scripts and optimized images. No hosting provider information was found. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to reduce risk and improve trust.
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.
