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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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
    • 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

VWO operates in the technology sector, focusing on SaaS solutions for digital experience optimization. Its business model revolves around subscription-based software services targeting digital marketers, product managers, and enterprises seeking to improve conversion rates and user experience. The company has a strong market position as a leader in experimentation platforms. The website's structured data and social media presence indicate a mature marketing and partnership ecosystem. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company was founded in 2000, consistent with the domain age. The business leverages multiple tracking and marketing tools to support its growth and customer engagement strategies.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to high. The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published on the site. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts, which may increase the attack surface if not properly managed. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of security headers is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance browser security.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and uses a modern JavaScript tech stack including Google Analytics, Matomo, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized and loads efficiently. The use of VWO's own SmartCode indicates integration with their experimentation platform. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Performance is fast, and SEO is well-implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. Opportunities exist to improve technical security by adding security headers and enabling DNSSEC.
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.
