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

Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy specializing in digital transformation, software development, and AI-driven engineering solutions. Positioned as a leading player in the technology consulting market, Thoughtworks offers a broad range of services including customer experience enhancement, product innovation, data modernization, and enterprise platform modernization. Their target audience primarily consists of enterprises and digital leaders seeking advanced technology consulting and software engineering expertise. The website infrastructure is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern technologies such as Adobe DTM, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with responsive design, accessibility features, and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and Content-Security-Policy headers present. However, additional security headers and a published security policy or incident response page would enhance their security maturity. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, Thoughtworks presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a high level of business credibility and technical sophistication. The lack of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection and does not detract significantly from the legitimacy of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing explicit security contact information.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

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

Business profile

Thoughtworks holds a strong market position as a global technology consultancy with a focus on digital transformation and AI. Their competitive advantage lies in blending design, engineering, and AI expertise to deliver impactful solutions. The business model revolves around consulting services, software development, and managed operations for enterprise clients across multiple industries including automotive, public sector, energy, media, retail, financial services, and healthcare. Revenue streams are primarily from consulting contracts and long-term client engagements. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem and a well-established brand presence. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and global reach. Operationally, Thoughtworks emphasizes innovation and industry-leading practices.

Security posture

Thoughtworks demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and implementation of Content-Security-Policy headers. The website does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen HTTP security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents to enhance trust and responsiveness.
  5. Optimize website performance to improve loading speed and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, indicating a robust enterprise-grade CMS platform. It uses modern tracking and marketing technologies such as Adobe DTM, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site includes structured data using JSON-LD for organization and website schema, improving SEO and discoverability. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, supporting a wide range of users. Technical risks are minimal, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and performance metrics to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
