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

Vade is a leading enterprise-level cybersecurity company specializing in AI-powered email security solutions, protecting over 1.4 billion mailboxes globally. Their flagship product, 365 Total Protection, integrates advanced AI and machine learning to provide comprehensive protection against phishing, ransomware, malware, and business email compromise, primarily targeting Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace users. The company is recognized as a leader in the cybersecurity market, with strong trust indicators such as G2 awards and a broad partner ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging Cloudflare CDN and modern web technologies, offering a responsive and professional user experience. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which is a critical vulnerability that must be addressed. Privacy compliance is well managed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, Vade demonstrates strong business credibility and digital maturity but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure communications and maintain trust.

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.

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

Vade operates in the technology sector with a focus on cybersecurity, specifically email security powered by AI. Their business model is B2B SaaS, serving MSPs, SMBs, ISPs, and enterprises. They have a strong market position in Europe and globally, supported by strategic partnerships and a comprehensive product suite. Their revenue streams likely include subscription-based services and partner programs. The company emphasizes innovation, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. Their digital presence is professional and content-rich, supporting lead generation and customer engagement. The partnership with Hornetsecurity and the unified branding strategy indicate a consolidation effort to strengthen market presence. The company uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and conversion.

Security posture

The website implements several important security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options, which enhance protection against common web attacks. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a critical security flaw, exposing users to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No direct incident response or security policy information is publicly available on the site, which may limit transparency for security-conscious customers. The site uses secure cookie attributes and has a strict referrer policy, indicating attention to privacy. Overall, while some best practices are followed, the SSL/TLS misconfiguration significantly undermines the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user communications.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols to improve security and compatibility.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Continue maintaining and enhancing privacy compliance with visible cookie consent and GDPR-aligned policies.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing Cloudflare for CDN and DNS services via AWS Route53. It employs modern front-end technologies including Lottie animations, Swiper carousels, and embedded YouTube videos. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance metrics are moderate, with caching enabled via Cloudflare. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is severely lacking, with no valid certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, which is a critical technical risk. The site uses multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and G2 tracking scripts, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure.
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.
