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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  3. 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

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

ThingLink holds a leading market position in immersive learning technology, targeting diverse customer segments from K-12 schools to enterprise clients. Their business model revolves around SaaS offerings with AI-enhanced authoring tools, enabling rapid content creation and deployment. Partnerships with major technology companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta enhance their ecosystem and credibility. The company emphasizes scalability and accessibility, supporting global teams with multi-language and cross-device compatibility. Growth indicators include extensive case studies with reputable organizations and a comprehensive referral program. Strategic observations highlight their focus on innovation in digital learning and strong brand consistency.

Security posture

The security maturity of ThingLink is high, supported by ISO 27001 certification and a Trust Center that likely details security controls and compliance. The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, reducing common web vulnerabilities. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and lack of explicit incident response contact details represent areas for improvement. Data protection practices appear robust with GDPR compliance indicators and clear privacy policies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture aligns well with industry best practices for SaaS platforms in education and enterprise sectors.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to enhance transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve readiness and trust.
  3. Enhance visibility of Data Protection Officer contact details to comply fully with GDPR and related regulations.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Develop and publish comprehensive terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, which supports server-side rendering and optimized performance. Multimedia content such as videos and interactive elements are well integrated, enhancing user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but CDN usage is apparent for static assets. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of dependencies and security headers is recommended to maintain robustness.
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.
