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 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

  3. 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

Workday holds a strong market position in the enterprise SaaS sector, focusing on HR and financial management solutions. Their business model revolves around subscription-based cloud services with a broad partner ecosystem including advisory, channel, and innovation partners. The company targets enterprise customers seeking integrated cloud platforms for workforce and financial planning. The website's extensive product catalog and resource library indicate a mature, well-established business with global reach. Partnerships with firms like Evisort and Adaptive Insights enhance their service offerings. The multi-language support and regional sites demonstrate a global market strategy. No direct revenue data is available, but the scale and scope suggest a large enterprise with significant market penetration.

Security posture

The website employs strong security practices including HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Sign-in mechanisms redirect users to company-specific login portals, reducing risk of phishing. However, the site lacks publicly visible incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security issues. No security.txt file was found. Overall, the security posture is robust but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure page with clear contact information.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of security certifications and compliance frameworks on the website.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and sales to improve trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and cloud-based hosting infrastructure. It integrates Coveo Atomic Search for enhanced search capabilities and Adobe Launch for tag management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple external resources. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and scalable digital presence. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and further enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
