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. The company positions itself as a trusted analytics provider for enterprises across various sectors including finance, healthcare, and high tech. Their offerings include customizable dashboards, standard and custom reports, and data export capabilities integrated with tools like Power BI. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive legal and privacy documentation, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and utilizes JavaScript-based analytics scripts from Webtrends itself. The site loads with moderate performance and good SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy policies published, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are listed, relying instead on contact forms. The WHOIS data for the domain www.webtrends.com is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency. Despite this, the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. No signs of adult or questionable content were found, and the site is fully accessible without WAF or security challenges. Overall, Webtrends demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with some gaps in domain registration transparency and minor security best practices. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, publishing incident response contacts, and verifying domain registration details to improve 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 competitive digital analytics market, targeting enterprise customers using Microsoft 365 and custom web applications. Their competitive advantage lies in customizable analytics solutions tailored for SharePoint and web apps, with integration capabilities for popular BI tools. The business model is B2B SaaS and on-premises analytics software. The company showcases a reputable client base across finance, healthcare, and technology sectors, indicating strong market penetration. The partnership ecosystem includes links to major organizations and government sites, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include active content updates, webinars, and training resources. However, the lack of visible direct contact information and missing WHOIS data could impact customer trust and acquisition.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and publishes detailed privacy and security statements, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy, which are important for security readiness and transparency. Cookie consent mechanisms are not evident, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but missing advanced controls and transparency elements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness of domain ownership.
  5. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2, leveraging JavaScript for analytics and embedding YouTube content. The tech stack is modern and supports responsive design, accessibility, and SEO best practices. Performance is moderate, with some caching and minification evident. The site uses Webtrends proprietary analytics scripts, indicating integration with their own analytics platform. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site architecture supports scalability and customization, but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
