Risk levelMedium

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

UHY International Ltd. operates a global network of independent member firms providing audit, tax, and consulting services across multiple sectors worldwide. The company positions itself as a collaborative and client-focused professional services provider with over 330 offices in 96 countries. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern Drupal 10 CMS, responsive design, and integration of advanced JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js and Splide.js for enhanced user experience. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie consent mechanisms and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of visible contact information on the site slightly diminish business credibility. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but the lack of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, supporting UHY's market position as a reputable international accounting and consulting network.

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 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. 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

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

UHY International targets a broad range of industries including finance, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications, and public sector services. Their business model relies on independent member firms collaborating under a unified brand to deliver localized expertise with global reach. The company leverages digital channels effectively for marketing and client engagement, including social media and content marketing through insights and blogs. The absence of detailed company founding data and WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from their established market presence. The firm’s key services span audit, advisory, corporate finance, tax, and legal services, positioning them competitively in the professional services market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No security or incident response policies are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Improve visibility and availability of contact information, including dedicated security and privacy contacts.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain trustworthiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, supplemented by Alpine.js for reactive UI components, Splide.js for carousel functionality, and Leaflet.js for mapping features. The site uses CDN-hosted assets for performance optimization and includes Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and rich media content that may impact load times but enhance engagement. The technical stack is current and well maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and further optimize performance.
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.
