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

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Altera holds a strong market position in the programmable logic device sector, focusing on FPGA and SoC FPGA products and related development tools. Its business model is primarily B2B, serving technology developers, enterprises, and industries requiring hardware acceleration and programmable logic solutions. The company benefits from its integration within Intel's ecosystem, which provides competitive advantages in technology innovation and market reach. The website's external links predominantly point to Intel domains, reinforcing this relationship. While direct contact information is not prominently displayed, the site offers extensive resources, partner networks, and support channels via Intel's infrastructure. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies indicates a mature approach to compliance and user trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and multiple domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes. It uses modern consent management and analytics tools that respect GDPR requirements. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of visible security policy or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the security posture is appropriate for an enterprise technology website but should evolve to meet best practices fully.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and report standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact information for security and support inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and maintainable platform. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure, supported by Azure DNS servers. The site uses Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and tracking, alongside Monsido for accessibility and consent management. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt or errors detected in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and further optimize performance and accessibility.
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.
