Red Hat is a leading enterprise open source software company, prominently offering the Ansible Automation Platform, which integrates multiple upstream projects into a secure, enterprise-grade automation solution. The website serves as a collaborative hub for users, partners, and vendors to access documentation, community forums, training, and automation content. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and targets IT professionals and organizations seeking automation solutions. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, uses modern JavaScript modules, and integrates consent management and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, CSP nonces, and consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not present on this page.

Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism, technical maturity, and business credibility.

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.

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

Red Hat occupies a strong market position in the technology sector, focusing on enterprise open source solutions. Its business model combines product offerings like the Ansible Automation Platform with community engagement and training services. The target customers are enterprises and IT professionals seeking automation and orchestration tools. The company leverages partnerships with community projects and maintains a robust ecosystem. Growth indicators include active community forums, interactive labs, and extensive documentation. Strategic observations highlight Red Hat's emphasis on security, compliance, and developer tooling to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Content Security Policy with nonce usage, and integrated cookie consent management compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms on this page suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of trusted third-party analytics and consent tools indicates adherence to privacy standards. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  4. Enhance visibility of company contact information to improve trust and support.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries for security vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript ES modules and Red Hat shared libraries. It integrates Adobe DTM for analytics and TrustArc for consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with preconnect hints and asynchronous script loading. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to further enhance SEO and accessibility through structured data and ARIA improvements.
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.
