High risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Risk levelHigh

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

Clarivate's Unycom website presents a comprehensive corporate IP lifecycle management software solution targeted at mid-size to global corporations. The site is professionally designed with rich content, clear navigation, and extensive integration of analytics and marketing tools, reflecting a mature digital presence. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security vulnerability that undermines user trust and data protection. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and corporate ownership, reinforcing business credibility. Overall, the site demonstrates strong business positioning and technical maturity but requires urgent security improvements to meet modern standards.

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. 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • 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

  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

Clarivate operates as a leading enterprise in the IP management software sector, offering Unycom as an on-premise or privately hosted solution for IP experts. The business model focuses on B2B software and professional IT services, integrating with patent offices and providing analytics and reporting capabilities. The website targets corporate IP teams and professionals, emphasizing scalability, integration, and professional support. The presence of multiple related products and services, along with extensive customer testimonials and legal compliance pages, indicates a well-established market position and a broad partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs several security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a severe security gap, exposing users to potential interception and data compromise. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found, which could impact the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The site uses modern monitoring and analytics tools but must prioritize enabling HTTPS and updating SSL/TLS configurations to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Enhance HSTS policy by including subdomains and submitting for preload.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  5. Provide clear security incident response contact information.
  6. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  7. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  8. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses a variety of third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and user experience enhancements, including New Relic, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Visual Website Optimizer. Hosting is provided by Pantheon, a reputable platform. Performance is moderate with some preloading and preconnecting optimizations. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of HTTPS and SSL certificate is a significant technical risk. The site uses advanced monitoring and session replay tools, indicating a high level of technical maturity but requires remediation of security weaknesses.
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.
