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

3 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. 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 marketing technology and digital optimization. Its SaaS business model targets enterprise and fast-growing companies seeking to improve user experience and conversion rates through experimentation. The company leverages a strong partnership ecosystem and marketing stack, including Bing Ads and Marketo, to drive growth. The domain age and WHOIS data support its established market presence. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals such as social media presence and structured contact information. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain transfer and update locks set, and use of Cloudflare DNS services. Security headers are present, and monitoring via Sentry is implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a public security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security completeness. There is no published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain ongoing security monitoring and regular audits to ensure continued compliance and risk mitigation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with advanced SEO plugins like Yoast and multilingual support via WPML. It uses a modern tech stack including Google Analytics, Matomo, Marketo, and Cloudflare DNS/CDN services. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well implemented. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and website schema, enhancing search engine understanding. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to further modernize by enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security transparency.
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.
