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

Visma is a leading European software company specializing in cloud-based business software solutions that simplify and digitize the work lives of entrepreneurs, small businesses, accounting firms, and public organizations. The company serves over 1.8 million businesses across Europe and Latin America, positioning itself as a major player in the SaaS market with a broad portfolio of cloud software products tailored to various sectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content including investor relations, sustainability, and career opportunities. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as Webflow CMS, jQuery, Slick Carousel, and analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager, hosted on a performant CDN infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy are not evident. The WHOIS data for the exact domain www.visma.co.uk is unavailable due to domain naming rules, indicating it is a subdomain or alias, but this does not detract from the legitimacy of the business as evidenced by consistent branding and multiple related Visma domains. Overall, Visma demonstrates a robust online presence with good security hygiene and compliance practices, suitable for its enterprise scale and market position.

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

6 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 3 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates as a SaaS provider targeting a wide range of business customers including small businesses, accounting firms, and public sector organizations. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive network of over 180 companies and 16,400 employees, delivering integrated cloud software solutions that enhance productivity and operational efficiency. The company emphasizes sustainability and technology innovation, supported by a vibrant developer community. Revenue streams are primarily from software subscriptions and services. The website's multilingual and multi-country domain strategy reflects a broad geographic footprint. Visma's partnership ecosystem includes multiple country-specific domains and investor relations, indicating a well-structured corporate governance and growth strategy. The business model focuses on recurring revenue and digital transformation services, positioning Visma as a key enabler of business digitization in Europe and Latin America.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. Security best practices observed include the use of cookie consent banners and avoidance of exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present, which could be improved to mitigate risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency in security incident handling. The use of reputable analytics and tracking services is balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly to reduce risk exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed standards, improving inclusivity and compliance.

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel for sliders, D3.js for data visualization, and Finsweet CMS Tabs for dynamic content. It integrates analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager for user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. Hosting is via a CDN (likely Amazon CloudFront), ensuring fast content delivery and global reach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility practices. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and optimized images. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a scalable and user-friendly digital experience. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risk.
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.
