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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

Visma holds a strong market position as a SaaS provider in Europe and Latin America, serving over 1.9 million businesses. Their business model focuses on scalable software solutions for various business sizes and sectors, including accounting firms and public sector entities. The company emphasizes growth, innovation, and sustainability, supported by a large workforce and extensive product portfolio. The website's multilingual support and links to regional domains indicate a broad geographic footprint. Strategic partnerships and a large SaaS network enhance their competitive advantage. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and standard security headers, indicating good baseline security practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency. The WHOIS data is restricted, which is common for .be domains but reduces visibility into domain ownership details. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced public security documentation and dedicated security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear Terms of Service page accessible from the footer or main navigation.
  2. Provide a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information with verified company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Vimeo Lite for media embedding. Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight tags are used for analytics and marketing. The site is hosted on Amazon CloudFront CDN, contributing to fast load times and global availability. The design is mobile-optimized with responsive layouts and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were observed, indicating a well-maintained digital infrastructure.
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.
