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

VeraSafe, LLC is a mature and reputable company specializing in data protection, privacy compliance, and cybersecurity services. Operating since 2011, it offers a broad range of services including GDPR consulting, Data Protection Officer programs, data breach response, and privacy training. The company targets organizations requiring expert guidance to navigate complex privacy laws globally, positioning itself as a leader in the privacy and cybersecurity consulting market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with integrations of HubSpot for marketing and analytics, and Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. While the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, it suffers from a critical security shortfall due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and a robust cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is high, supported by certifications and clear contact information. Overall, VeraSafe presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence but must urgently address its 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.

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 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 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

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

VeraSafe operates in the technology sector, focusing on privacy and cybersecurity consulting. Its business model revolves around providing advisory, managed, representative, and operational privacy services to a global clientele. The company leverages certifications and industry recognition to establish trust and competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, managed service subscriptions, and training programs. The target customers are enterprises and organizations needing compliance with GDPR, U.S. privacy laws, and other international regulations. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with technology providers like HubSpot and Cloudflare. Growth indicators include a mature domain, active content updates, and multi-language support. Strategic observations highlight the need to improve technical security to align with its privacy-focused brand.

Security posture

The current security posture of VeraSafe's website is moderate to poor due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential interception risks. The domain has well-configured SPF and DMARC DNS records, indicating good email security practices. No subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were found. However, the website does not implement modern TLS protocols, HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption, which are best practices for web security. There is no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy found on the site. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are robust, supporting GDPR compliance. The security culture appears strong in policy but weak in technical implementation. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to protect data in transit and uphold the company's privacy commitments.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels.
  8. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.
  9. Continue to leverage certifications and trust signals to strengthen market position.
  10. Improve website performance to reduce load times and enhance user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with extensive use of HubSpot for forms and marketing automation. It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript bundles for UI and functionality. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS resilience. The site includes cookie consent management via CookiePro (OneTrust). Performance is slow with a load time of approximately 14.7 seconds and a large page size (~956 KB) with over 200 resources, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive design and accessibility considerations evident. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a significant technical risk. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, marketing, and CDN services, all reputable. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
