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, providing SaaS solutions for digital experience optimization. Its business model focuses on subscription-based software services targeting enterprises and fast-growing companies. The company benefits from a strong market position as a leader in experimentation and conversion optimization. The website content and structured data confirm a consistent brand and business identity. The company leverages a broad ecosystem of marketing and analytics tools to support customer acquisition and retention. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains active social media channels and customer support contact points, enhancing its market credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of VWO is robust, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Domain registration status flags such as clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited add protection against unauthorized changes. No DNSSEC is enabled, which is a recommended improvement. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could be enhanced to improve transparency. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Tracking and marketing scripts are used extensively but appear to be standard and legitimate. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from formalized security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  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.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Matomo, Marketo, Bing Ads, and VWO's own SmartCode for experimentation. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with comprehensive metadata and structured data markup. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and responsive design. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated technologies. Opportunities exist to enable DNSSEC and formalize security documentation to further strengthen the technical posture.
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.
