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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Venturebright operates in the technology consulting sector, focusing on innovation and venture creation for large corporations globally. Their competitive advantage lies in combining strategy with imagination to help clients thrive in uncertain futures. The business model revolves around consulting services and venture incubation, targeting emerging industries and adjacent markets. The presence of high-profile clients indicates strong market positioning and trust. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees and venture participation. The company leverages partnerships with startups and technology scouts to enhance innovation offerings. Growth indicators include recent blog posts and active marketing tools. The company maintains a focused ecosystem without apparent subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer is protected, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers are detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. Analytics tracking is moderate, with no advanced privacy controls or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure enough for a consulting business but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR or NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan with contact channels for security issues.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance contact information by adding verified company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Webflow CMS and hosting, leveraging modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts, Lottie animations, and jQuery. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Leadfeeder, with marketing tools like Sopro. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and large image assets. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers. The DNS is managed via Azure DNS but lacks DNSSEC, which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can be enhanced for security and 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.
