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. 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 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

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

Venngage's business model is subscription-based SaaS, offering tiered plans for individuals, professionals, enterprises, nonprofits, and classrooms. Their extensive template library and AI tools provide competitive advantages in ease of use and accessibility. The company maintains a strong social media presence across major platforms, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a stable and legitimate business history. While no direct payment processor domains were identified, the company likely partners with standard payment gateways. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data aligns with transparency for a technology service provider.

Security posture

Venngage demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of security monitoring tools like Sentry. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent banners and management interfaces. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts were found, representing an area for enhancement. Security headers are partially implemented or not explicitly visible in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Continue monitoring third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update regularly.
  5. Enhance data retention disclosures and privacy policy details regarding analytics and tracking data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with multiple analytics and marketing tools integrated via asynchronous scripts, ensuring performance and scalability. Hosting on AWS DNS servers indicates reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured data (JSON-LD) extensively used for SEO and rich snippets. Performance is fast with proper use of CDN for assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site uses Google Tag Manager for centralized tag management and Mixpanel for user behavior analytics. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and user-friendly experience with room for minor security and privacy enhancements.
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.
