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

Agilent Technologies, Inc. is a leading global provider of scientific instruments, software, services, and consumables for chemical analysis, life sciences, and diagnostics. The company serves a broad range of customers including laboratories, healthcare providers, researchers, and industrial clients. Their market position is strong with a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including analytical instruments, lab supplies, compliance consulting, and training. The website reflects a mature enterprise with consistent branding, rich content, and a focus on customer engagement through multiple channels and subsidiaries. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Dynatrace for performance monitoring. It is well-optimized for desktop and mobile platforms with good accessibility and SEO practices. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses several security best practices, though it could improve by adding more explicit security headers and publishing a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy or registry limitations rather than malicious intent. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security posture.

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

6 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 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

Agilent operates in the healthcare and technology sectors, focusing on scientific instrumentation and life sciences solutions. Their business model is B2B, targeting laboratories, research institutions, and healthcare providers. The company leverages a broad product portfolio and service offerings, including instrument sales, maintenance, compliance consulting, and training. Their market position is reinforced by multiple subsidiaries and partnerships, expanding their reach and innovation capabilities. The website content and structure support a professional and trustworthy brand image, facilitating customer engagement and sales. Growth indicators include active news updates, customer stories, and a comprehensive support ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms. Security headers are partially implemented but could be enhanced with Content-Security-Policy and other headers to mitigate common web risks. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. The site lacks a publicly visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended for transparency and trust. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Dynatrace for real user monitoring. It is optimized for performance with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-friendly and accessible, with structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the presence of advanced monitoring suggests enterprise-grade infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The site architecture supports clear navigation and content discoverability, contributing to a positive user experience.
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.
