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"

    • 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. 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

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

WEX's business model centers on providing B2B fintech solutions across energy, transportation, and finance sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in integrated payment platforms, fleet management tools, and employee benefits administration. Revenue streams likely include card fees, payment processing, and platform services. The company serves a broad customer base from small businesses to large enterprises globally. Partnerships with Mastercard and regional sites indicate a strong ecosystem. Growth indicators include active investor relations and career portals. The website content and structure support a sophisticated, enterprise-grade operation with a focus on customer education and support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap. Data protection practices appear sound, with cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and user trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing more explicit security governance information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact and compliance certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including jQuery, SwiperJS, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. It uses Yoast SEO for search optimization and Sentry for error monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key assets and optimized images. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing security vigilance. Opportunities exist to modernize further by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security transparency.
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.
