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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Verity Systems targets enterprise and institutional clients requiring secure data destruction, including government, financial, healthcare, and education sectors. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and selling specialized hardware and software solutions for data erasure and destruction. The company leverages certifications such as ADISA, DIN 66399, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST 800-88, NSA-listed, and PCI DSS to build trust and compliance assurance. The website supports multiple languages, indicating a global or multi-regional market approach. Partnerships like at-rack.co.uk suggest a broader ecosystem. The company emphasizes product warranties and technical support, which are key competitive advantages. The digital presence is optimized for user experience and SEO, supporting lead generation and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes multiple security headers, reflecting a solid security baseline. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML or scripts. Forms appear secure with no visible injection or data leakage risks. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting external security collaboration. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide Data Protection Officer contact details to enhance GDPR transparency and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported CMS platform (WordPress) with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and Elementor for page building. Hosting via Cloudflare provides CDN and security benefits. The site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Performance is fast with optimized images and scripts loaded asynchronously or deferred. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive design and semantic HTML elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to further enhance DNS security and formalize security documentation.
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.
