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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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

TradeCentric operates in the technology and eCommerce sectors, focusing on B2B integration solutions that connect buyers and suppliers seamlessly. Its business model revolves around SaaS offerings that automate and optimize procurement and invoicing processes. The company targets medium to large enterprises requiring robust integration platforms. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad portfolio of solutions and a strong partner ecosystem, including integrations with major ERP and eCommerce platforms. The presence of customer stories, reports, and interactive tools indicates a mature marketing and customer engagement strategy. The domain age and WHOIS data support a stable and legitimate business operation. TradeCentric’s strategic focus on automation and connected commerce positions it well for growth in the evolving B2B digital marketplace.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for domain security. The site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned policies. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the GeneratePress theme and enhanced by plugins such as Rank Math SEO and Complianz GDPR. It integrates multiple third-party services including HubSpot, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag for marketing and analytics purposes. Hosting is provided via AWS, as indicated by the DNS nameservers. The site shows good mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts and integrations. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though there is an opportunity to optimize loading times and implement additional security headers. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags supports rich search engine results and social media sharing.
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.
