0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

XOtel SIA is a well-established international telecommunications company with over 17 years of market presence, specializing in wholesale voice transmission, anti-fraud solutions, and SMS A2P services. The company operates multiple offices across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, positioning itself as a leader in its segment with a strong growth trajectory. The website reflects a professional business model targeting telecom carriers and enterprises requiring reliable communication services. Technically, the website uses a traditional tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and JWPlayer, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. The site is accessible with clear navigation but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicating compliance and security maturity gaps. The WHOIS data supports the legitimacy and long-term presence of the domain. Overall, the website is functional and credible but would benefit from enhanced security practices, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to reduce risk and improve trust.

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

7 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. 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

    • 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

XOtel holds a strong market position as a wholesale telecom service provider with a diversified international footprint. Its competitive advantages include a broad portfolio of voice and SMS services, anti-fraud capabilities, and a stable client base evidenced by numerous active contracts and significant traffic volumes. The business model is B2B focused, targeting telecom operators and enterprises. Growth indicators such as inclusion in top fastest growing companies and asset growth percentages highlight financial health. Partnerships with related domains like xomobile.com and xoresearch.com suggest a broader ecosystem. The company’s multi-office presence supports regional market penetration and customer support.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with notable gaps. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response contacts reduces the overall security maturity. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer information was found, which may expose the company to compliance risks especially under GDPR. The lack of visible analytics or tracking scripts reduces privacy concerns but also limits insight into user behavior. The company should prioritize implementing security best practices and compliance documentation to strengthen its security culture and reduce operational risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy but stable technology stack including jQuery and Bootstrap for UI components, JWPlayer for media, and Lightbox for image display. The HTML structure is valid with some inline styles and scripts managing UI behavior. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization techniques detected. The site lacks modern CMS or frameworks and does not appear to use advanced SEO or accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site is not fully mobile optimized but provides a mobile header and menu. Technical debt is moderate, with opportunities for modernization including adopting responsive design frameworks, improving SEO metadata, and implementing security best practices.
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.
