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

2 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 TPA Group operates a multi-national professional services business with subsidiaries in 12 countries, targeting businesses requiring audit, legal, accounting, and tax consulting services. Their business model is service-oriented, leveraging regional expertise and a strong brand association with Baker Tilly International. The website's structure and content support a B2B audience, emphasizing regional presence and service breadth. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for career and tax-checking services, enhancing their service portfolio. Growth indicators include a comprehensive digital footprint and adherence to privacy and compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Cookiebot for granular cookie consent, and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The absence of security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding clear contact information including security contact channels to facilitate incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, supported by a suite of plugins including Yoast SEO, Jet Menu, Ninja Forms, and Cookiebot for privacy management. The tech stack includes jQuery, Vue.js, Swiper, and Font Awesome, indicating a rich interactive experience. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive menus. SEO is well addressed with canonical tags, hreflang, and structured data. Technical risks are low but monitoring plugin updates and security headers is advised 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.
