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

      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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The company positions itself as a market leader in physical and digital security solutions, targeting large enterprises and sectors such as technology, real estate, and government. Their business model is B2B, offering integrated security products and services including visitor management, access control, and intrusion detection. The presence of major global brands as customers and Chrome Enterprise Recommended certification indicates strong market credibility. The website's partnership with Blend for development and use of HubSpot CMS suggests a strategic approach to digital marketing and customer engagement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled lead generation approach via forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and sandboxed content embedding. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent banners and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with consent mechanisms, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Add an incident response contact channel and publish an incident response plan summary.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales and support to improve trust.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for interactive elements and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and ahrefs Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some heavy media content such as videos and interactive images. The technical implementation follows best practices with valid HTML, security headers, and privacy consent management. Opportunities exist to optimize loading speed and further improve accessibility compliance.
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.
