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. 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

  2. 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

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

WSP operates in the engineering and consulting sectors with a focus on sustainability, digital solutions, and project management. The company targets business clients globally, with localized content for Germany and other regions. The business model centers on delivering professional services that leverage technical expertise and innovation. The website indicates a large enterprise scale with 83,000 employees and 200,000 active projects worldwide. The company maintains a strong brand presence and uses multiple languages and regional sites to serve diverse markets. Partnerships and subsidiaries are not explicitly detailed on the site, but the global reach suggests a complex organizational structure.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates consent management via Didomi, reflecting compliance with GDPR and privacy best practices. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, with no visible signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data. However, the site lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response information. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are publicly available or justified if privacy protection is used.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced through dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and integrating Coveo for search functionality. Consent management is handled via Didomi SDK, ensuring GDPR compliance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading times and script management. The technical infrastructure supports a large, multilingual, and multi-regional enterprise website with complex navigation and content management needs.
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.
