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

Vertical Insure is a technology company specializing in embedded insurance solutions designed to integrate insurance products seamlessly into online transactions across various industries. Founded in 2022, the company positions itself as a niche provider offering customized embedded insurance platforms to businesses seeking to enhance their offerings with insurance capabilities. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting B2B customers with a focus on technology-driven insurance services. The business model appears to be SaaS-based, leveraging digital integration to deliver insurance products embedded within client platforms. From a technical perspective, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, supplemented with modern marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Datadog RUM, and Hotjar. The hosting infrastructure likely involves AWS services, as indicated by DNS servers. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in technical optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain registration locks to prevent unauthorized changes, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, along with missing privacy and cookie policies, suggests gaps in security best practices and privacy compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could impact trust and compliance with regulations like GDPR. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and clearer contact information to strengthen trustworthiness and regulatory adherence. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, deploying security headers, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

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

5 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

  3. 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

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

Vertical Insure operates in the embedded insurance technology sector, targeting businesses that require seamless insurance integration within their online transactions. The company leverages a SaaS model to deliver customizable insurance solutions, positioning itself as a specialized provider in a growing niche market. The domain registration and website content align with a legitimate small-sized technology firm founded recently in 2022. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a focus on digital maturity and customer engagement. However, the lack of visible contact details and compliance documentation may limit customer trust and market penetration. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand identity and targets a professional audience, likely including e-commerce platforms, fintech companies, and other digital service providers seeking embedded insurance capabilities.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective status flags to prevent unauthorized domain modifications. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No explicit privacy or security policies are published, and there is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are important for transparency and incident response readiness. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces additional privacy considerations, but session replay is disabled, reducing some privacy risks. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, the site lacks advanced security controls and compliance documentation, which should be addressed to improve its security maturity and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Deploy essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Add clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design framework. The technology stack includes jQuery and integrates several third-party marketing and analytics services such as HubSpot, Datadog RUM, and Hotjar, indicating a focus on user behavior analysis and performance monitoring. Hosting appears to be supported by AWS infrastructure, inferred from DNS server information. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. However, the site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve loading speed and user experience. The technical implementation is solid but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
