69/100

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

Akamai Technologies is a leading enterprise in the technology sector specializing in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and content delivery network services. Their website reflects a mature, professional digital presence with comprehensive product and solution offerings targeting enterprise customers globally. The company leverages advanced technologies including Adobe Experience Manager, React, and their own Akamai Edge platform to deliver high performance and scalable services. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with clear navigation and rich content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policy and incident response information are not prominently published. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract from the overall legitimacy and trustworthiness of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies and vulnerability disclosures to further build 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

2 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

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 holds a strong market position as a global leader in cybersecurity and cloud services, serving a broad range of industries including media, finance, healthcare, and gaming. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS and infrastructure services, with a diversified portfolio of products such as API security, zero trust platforms, and edge computing solutions. The company maintains partnerships with cloud providers like Linode, enhancing their ecosystem. Their website content and structured data confirm a large enterprise scale with consistent branding and trust signals. The company targets enterprise clients requiring robust security and performance solutions, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure provider in the digital economy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of cookie consent tools compliant with GDPR. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness communication. The use of service workers with debugging and policy controls indicates advanced technical security controls. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced public-facing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels for security issues.
  4. Disclose certifications and compliance attestations to enhance trust.
  5. Maintain updated WHOIS information or clarify privacy protection rationale.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Adobe Experience Manager CMS and React for frontend components, supported by Akamai's own edge platform for hosting and delivery. Performance monitoring is implemented via Boomerang and Adobe Analytics, with user experience enhanced by service workers and OneTrust for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with SEO best practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Technical risks are minimal, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing vulnerability management. The infrastructure reflects a mature, enterprise-grade digital platform supporting global operations.
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.
