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

Veterans United Insurance is a specialized insurance provider focused on serving Veterans and service members across the United States. The company offers a range of insurance products including homeowners, auto, life, bundled policies, and specialty vehicle insurance. Positioned as a trusted partner in the veteran community, it leverages partnerships with reputable insurance carriers to provide competitive rates and personalized service. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and strong trust indicators such as verified customer reviews and partner logos. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and WPBakery page builder, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, performance data is missing, and the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security concern. Mobile optimization and SEO appear well implemented, but accessibility features are basic. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, modern TLS protocols, and security headers like HSTS. No explicit security policies or incident response information are provided. Privacy compliance is partial with a comprehensive privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, enabling security headers, and adding cookie consent to improve privacy compliance.

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

    • 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

Veterans United Insurance operates as a medium-sized insurance agency under Mortgage Research Center, LLC, targeting the veteran and military community with tailored insurance solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus and partnerships with major insurance carriers such as Foremost, Nationwide, Progressive, and Safeco. The business model centers on brokerage and quote comparison, generating revenue through commissions from partner carriers. The company demonstrates growth potential through strong customer satisfaction and a clear brand identity. Its partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing product offerings and market reach. The website supports lead generation via contact forms and quote initiation, indicating a digitally mature approach to customer acquisition.

Security posture

The current security posture of Veterans United Insurance's website is inadequate. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS exposes users to data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and critical security headers such as HSTS are missing, increasing vulnerability to man-in-the-middle attacks. While some basic headers like X-Content-Type-Options and X-XSS-Protection are present, they are insufficient to ensure robust security. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms also raises privacy compliance concerns. These gaps pose significant risks to user data confidentiality and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Add HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Deploy OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with contact information.
  7. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  9. Optimize website performance and loading times to improve user engagement.
  10. Maintain consistent branding and update content regularly to sustain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with the Salient theme and WPBakery page builder, leveraging jQuery and Flickity for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. Hosting is provided by Flywheel, as indicated by server headers. The site uses custom fonts (VU Sans and Roboto) loaded via local WOFF/WOFF2 files. Despite modern technologies, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, suggesting potential slow load times. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses SEO best practices via Yoast SEO Premium. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. Technical debt includes missing SSL, lack of security headers, and no cookie consent implementation, which could impact business operations and user trust.
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.
