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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mxb-00190b01.gslb.pphosted.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Akamai's business model focuses on providing cloud computing, security, and CDN services to enterprises worldwide. The website highlights key product categories including security solutions (API protection, zero trust, bot management), cloud computing (compute, networking, containers), and content delivery (media delivery, edge applications). The company maintains a consistent brand presence with extensive social media integration and structured data for SEO. While WHOIS data is unavailable, the website's content and infrastructure strongly support its legitimacy. Akamai's ecosystem includes partnerships and integrations with cloud and security technologies, reinforcing its competitive advantage in the technology sector.

Security posture

The website employs strong security best practices including HTTPS, multiple security headers, and cookie consent aligned with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content or scripts. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is robust for a public-facing corporate site, with recommendations to publish explicit security policies and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and controls.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices for users.

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with React components and leverages Akamai's own edge platform for hosting and delivery. It uses modern web technologies including service workers for performance and telemetry, Adobe DTM for tag management, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and accessibility features. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature, enterprise-grade digital presence with strong integration of analytics and marketing tools. Opportunities exist to further modernize by enhancing security transparency and expanding incident response capabilities.
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.
