The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting GTM teams and B2B marketers with a SaaS business model. Technically, the site is built on Webflow and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure.

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 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. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.vector.co points to unregistered service stage-us-east-1-client-alb-231037774.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Vector operates in the competitive B2B marketing technology sector, focusing on enhancing marketing effectiveness through contact-level data insights. Their client base includes over 1,000 GTM teams, indicating a strong market presence. The company leverages integrations with popular platforms like HubSpot and Slack to embed itself within existing marketing stacks. Their business model centers on SaaS subscriptions with free trials and demos to attract users. The presence of educational resources such as blogs, playbooks, and podcasts supports customer engagement and thought leadership. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The company emphasizes reducing ad spend waste and improving sales pipeline conversion through data-driven marketing plays.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts, which are industry standard but require careful management to avoid privacy risks. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but reduces transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with recommendations to enhance header policies and publish security documentation to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js for sliders and Typewriter effect for UI enhancements. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, StackAdapt, Apollo, and Typeform, indicating a sophisticated marketing technology stack. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses CDN-hosted assets and fonts from Google Fonts. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
