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

Tipalti is a well-established enterprise SaaS company specializing in finance automation solutions including accounts payable, mass payments, procurement, and expense management. The company offers a connected suite of tools designed to streamline financial operations for global businesses, integrating with major ERP and accounting platforms. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive service descriptions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern SEO and tracking technologies. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and domain locking, though improvements such as DNSSEC and published security policies are recommended. Privacy compliance is currently weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but should enhance privacy and security transparency to align with best practices.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  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

Tipalti operates in the finance sector, targeting medium to large enterprises seeking automation in payables and procurement. Its business model is SaaS-based, generating revenue through subscription and service fees. The company holds a Money Services Business license, indicating regulatory compliance for payment services. Its integration ecosystem with ERP systems like Oracle NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics strengthens its market position. The company hosts events and publishes educational content, indicating active market engagement and thought leadership. The absence of explicit contact details on the main page suggests a focus on qualified leads via forms or partner channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which is a gap for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Tracking via Facebook Pixel is present but without visible cookie consent, which may raise privacy compliance concerns under GDPR. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits external security engagement. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved with enhanced transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with PHP backend and uses modern front-end technologies including SVG graphics and asynchronous JavaScript loading. Hosting is on AWS as inferred from DNS nameservers. SEO is enhanced using Rank Math plugin with structured data in JSON-LD format for organization, website, and articles. Performance optimizations include font preloading and responsive images. Accessibility features are present but not fully detailed. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided content. Technical debt appears low with opportunities to improve DNS security and privacy 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.
