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.

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

Toolset targets WordPress professionals and developers seeking to build advanced websites without programming. Its business model centers on software product sales complemented by expert multilingual support and training. The company maintains a competitive advantage through integration with WPML and WooCommerce, enabling diverse site types including directories, e-commerce, real estate, and membership sites. The partnership ecosystem includes Stripe for payments and Google services for analytics and advertising. Growth indicators include a large installed base and active support channels. Strategic observations highlight the importance of multilingual and e-commerce capabilities in their market positioning.

Security posture

The security maturity of Toolset's website is high, with well-implemented SSL certificates issued by Amazon RSA 2048, strict transport security with preload and subdomain inclusion, and comprehensive content security policies allowing only trusted domains. No known SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are present. However, the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher protocols is a notable gap. The site lacks publicly disclosed security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture is evidenced by extensive use of security headers and monitoring tools like New Relic.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure modern secure communications.
  2. Refine Content Security Policy to remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives where feasible.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve transparency.
  4. Implement a public vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC to enhance domain security and integrity.
Technical notes

Notes

Toolset's technical infrastructure is robust, built on WordPress 6.8.1 with WooCommerce 9.8.5, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks including React and Alpine.js for dynamic frontend experiences. The site uses Bootstrap 4.1.3 for responsive design and WP Rocket for performance optimization, resulting in fast load times. Hosting is provided by Amazon AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability. The extensive use of Google services for analytics, advertising, and tag management indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Technical risks include the lack of modern TLS protocols and potential CSP weaknesses. Opportunities exist to modernize security protocols and enhance public security documentation to reduce technical debt and improve trust.
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.
