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

West Advanced Technologies, Inc. (WATI) is a California-based IT solutions and cybersecurity services provider established in 1998, specializing in government agencies, commercial enterprises, and technology companies. The company positions itself as a trusted partner delivering consulting and cybersecurity services with a strong focus on the government sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand identity with a clear business focus. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tracking tools, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Overall, the site demonstrates good compliance awareness but lacks some formal privacy and security documentation. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

WATI operates in the government and technology sectors, offering IT consulting and cybersecurity services. Its market position is strengthened by a long operational history since 1998 and a focus on specialized government contracts and commercial clients. The business model revolves around service delivery and consulting, supported by a digital presence that leverages multiple social media platforms and marketing tools. The absence of direct contact information on the main page suggests a controlled lead generation approach, possibly via forms or direct outreach. The company maintains a consistent brand image and uses advanced analytics and marketing technologies to optimize customer engagement and market reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles, indicating a baseline security and privacy posture. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided content, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web threats. The use of reputable analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy controls, but the site would benefit from publishing formal security and privacy documentation to build trust and demonstrate compliance maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with popular plugins like Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and flexible CMS environment. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity, demonstrating a sophisticated approach to user tracking and marketing optimization. The site uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. Performance appears moderate with preloaded fonts and minified CSS/JS assets. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is well addressed via meta tags and structured data. However, no hosting provider information was detected, and no advanced security headers were found, suggesting room for technical security improvements.
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.
