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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Wemlo operates in the finance and real estate sectors, focusing on mortgage loan processing services for brokers. Its business model is based on providing third-party processing without subscription or minimum loan requirements, appealing to a broad range of mortgage professionals. The company’s competitive advantages include industry recognition, a customer-centric approach, and a dedicated processing pod setup ensuring business continuity. Its partnership ecosystem includes notable entities like UWM and Orion Lending, enhancing its service capabilities. The company targets mortgage brokers and loan officers nationwide, leveraging technology and proactive communication to maintain transparency. Growth indicators include multiple recent awards and a sizable client base. The website content is well-structured, professional, and aligned with the company’s brand identity, supporting its market positioning as a trusted mortgage processing partner.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic to moderate security maturity level. It employs a valid SSL certificate issued by a trusted authority, with no known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE. However, it lacks critical security enhancements like HSTS, DNSSEC, and CAA records, which are recommended to prevent common attack vectors such as SSL stripping and unauthorized certificate issuance. The presence of reCAPTCHA on forms and use of TrustArc for privacy compliance indicate attention to data protection and bot mitigation. The absence of publicly available security policies or incident response information suggests limited transparency in security governance. While the site benefits from enterprise-grade hosting via WordPress VIP and AWS, further improvements in security headers and domain security configurations are advisable to strengthen the overall security posture and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enhance SSL security.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to restrict certificate authorities authorized to issue certificates for the domain.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update security headers and conduct security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, specifically hosted on WordPress VIP, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for carousels and Gravity Forms for form management. The site integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HubSpot Analytics, and TrustArc for privacy and consent management. The hosting is provided by Amazon AWS, as inferred from DNS nameservers. Performance is fast with optimized resource loading and mobile responsiveness is excellent. SEO is well-implemented with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. The technical stack is mature and supports a professional, user-friendly experience. However, some security-related technical configurations like HSTS and DNSSEC are missing, representing opportunities for technical risk reduction.
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.
