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

Analog Devices, Inc. is a global leader specializing in the design and manufacturing of analog, mixed signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits. The company serves a broad range of industries including aerospace, automotive, communications, consumer electronics, energy, industrial automation, and healthcare. Their website reflects a mature enterprise with a comprehensive portfolio aimed at engineers and technical professionals. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and rich in multimedia content, demonstrating a high level of digital maturity and professional branding consistency. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager, and is hosted on Akamai's CDN, ensuring good performance and scalability. The use of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and provides clear business information. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is critically flawed with an invalid or missing certificate and no support for modern TLS protocols, which significantly undermines the site's security posture. Security headers are properly implemented, including HSTS and Content Security Policy, but the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms indicate areas needing urgent remediation. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no explicit GDPR compliance indicators. Contact information such as emails and phone numbers are not explicitly provided in the analyzed content, which may affect user trust and compliance. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy business front but requires immediate attention to its SSL/TLS security configuration and privacy compliance to mitigate risks and enhance user trust. Strategic improvements in these areas will strengthen the company's digital security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Analog Devices operates as an essential entity in the semiconductor technology sector, focusing on analog and mixed signal ICs and DSP solutions. Their market positioning as a global leader is supported by a diverse portfolio targeting multiple high-value sectors such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation. The business model revolves around innovation and co-creation with customers to solve complex engineering challenges. The company maintains a strong digital presence with integrated e-commerce (eShop), community engagement (EngineerZone), and rich technical resources (Analog Dialogue). The target audience is primarily engineers and technical professionals, as indicated by structured data and content focus. The company leverages partnerships and digital platforms to extend its reach and support ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous content updates, multimedia engagement, and a broad solutions gallery. The absence of explicit contact details in the analyzed content suggests a focus on digital self-service and community-driven support channels.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate but compromised by critical SSL/TLS issues. While security headers such as HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Content-Type-Options are correctly implemented, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) present significant vulnerabilities. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms further reduces the effectiveness of the SSL/TLS implementation. No evidence of incident response policies, security certifications, or vulnerability disclosure programs was found in the content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The site uses Adobe DTM for analytics and tracking, which requires proper privacy management to ensure compliance. Recommendations include immediate SSL certificate renewal and configuration, enabling modern TLS protocols, implementing OCSP stapling, and establishing clear privacy and security policies. Enhancing transparency and user trust through visible contact channels for security incidents and data protection officers is also advised.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure SSL certificates to enable HTTPS with modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3).
  2. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries to enhance incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and monitor for vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Handlebars.js templating, Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager, and Brightcove video player integration. It uses Sitecore CMS as inferred from URL patterns and content references. Hosting is provided via Akamai CDN, ensuring global content delivery and performance optimization. Performance is moderate with caching headers and resource preloading implemented. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS support pose technical risks that could impact user trust and search engine ranking. Technical debt appears low with modern libraries and frameworks in use, but security misconfigurations represent a critical modernization opportunity. Continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain technical health and business continuity.
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.
