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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Network security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Trustwave operates in the technology sector with a focus on cybersecurity services for various industries including government, healthcare, hospitality, and retail. Their business model centers on providing managed security services and consulting, leveraging partnerships with major technology providers like Microsoft. The company demonstrates strong growth indicators through extensive service offerings, global reach, and industry recognitions. Their partnership ecosystem includes technology alliances and reseller programs, enhancing market penetration. The website's content and structure support lead generation and client engagement, indicating a mature marketing strategy.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Forms include explicit consent checkboxes aligning with privacy regulations. The presence of FedRAMP authorization indicates compliance with stringent federal security standards. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program suggests areas for improvement in transparency and incident communication. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Expand incident response contact channels with dedicated security-related email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and enhance privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Splide.js for interactive elements. It employs Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, alongside HubSpot's marketing automation tools. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of styles and scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though opportunities exist to optimize loading times and enhance accessibility further.
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.
