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

Webtrends is a technology company specializing in digital analytics solutions focused on measuring adoption, user engagement, and usage of Microsoft 365 and custom web applications. Positioned as a trusted analytics provider for enterprises across finance, healthcare, and high tech sectors, Webtrends offers customizable dashboards, standard and custom reporting, and integration capabilities with tools like Power BI. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding and comprehensive legal documentation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and employs proprietary Webtrends analytics scripts, indicating a self-managed analytics infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and published security policies, though explicit security headers and incident response contacts are absent. The lack of WHOIS data transparency is a notable concern but does not outweigh the overall legitimacy indicated by the website content and client references. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and improving contact transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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

Webtrends operates in the B2B technology sector, targeting enterprises that require detailed analytics for Microsoft 365 and custom web applications. Their business model combines SaaS and on-premises analytics solutions, catering to organizations needing customizable and extensible reporting tools. The company leverages partnerships and client relationships with reputable firms across multiple industries, enhancing market credibility. Revenue streams likely include subscription services, professional services, and training. The website's content and client logos suggest a stable market position with growth potential in enterprise analytics. The partnership ecosystem includes financial services, government, and energy sectors, indicating diversified industry reach.

Security posture

The security maturity of Webtrends is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and provides detailed privacy and security statements, reflecting compliance awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure contacts are published, which could delay response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of proprietary analytics scripts suggests control over data collection but requires ongoing security vigilance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, indicating a flexible and widely supported infrastructure. JavaScript libraries include proprietary Webtrends analytics scripts and YouTube widget API for embedded video content. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The absence of explicit hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
