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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the consultancy sector with a focus on negotiation strategy and training, leveraging AI to enhance service delivery. It targets corporate clients globally, emphasizing measurable ROI and strategic negotiation capabilities. The business model combines consulting projects, training programs, digital solutions, and events. The firm maintains a strong brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as certifications and client success stories. Partnerships and related domains indicate an ecosystem supporting negotiation education and community engagement. The lack of visible physical addresses or detailed registrant data suggests a primarily service-oriented, possibly decentralized operational model.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, use of anti-bot mechanisms (Cloudflare Turnstile), and a consent management platform (Usercentrics) supporting GDPR compliance. Security headers are implied but not fully confirmed in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which is a critical trust factor. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with more explicit policies and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish complete WHOIS domain registration details to enhance trust and legitimacy.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Audit and explicitly implement comprehensive security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Maintain regular third-party script and CMS/plugin vulnerability assessments to mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and user data for improved privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations, Swiper for carousels, and Plyr for video playback. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Funnelfuel for analytics, alongside Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. Hosting and security are likely managed via Cloudflare, evidenced by Turnstile anti-bot integration. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of stylesheets and scripts to reduce render blocking. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, supporting a professional user experience and compliance requirements.
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.
