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

Applied Materials is a global leader in materials engineering solutions, primarily serving the semiconductor and advanced display industries. The company partners strategically with customers across Europe and worldwide to deliver innovative technologies and services that enable next-generation microchips and devices. Their business model focuses on B2B technology and manufacturing solutions, positioning them as a market leader with a comprehensive product and service portfolio including semiconductor technologies, display solutions, automation software, and supply chain services. The website reflects a mature enterprise with consistent branding and professional content. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern web technologies and performance monitoring tools. It is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with strong SEO practices. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, Content Security Policy, and cookie consent mechanisms, although additional security headers and a public security policy could enhance trust further. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable publicly, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for large enterprises. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism, security awareness, and compliance with privacy regulations, making it a trustworthy digital presence for Applied Materials. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a dedicated security policy and incident response contacts, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture and stakeholder 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. 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Applied Materials operates in the high-technology manufacturing sector, focusing on materials engineering for semiconductors and displays. Their competitive advantage lies in deep expertise at atomic-level material modification and industrial-scale solutions. The company targets technology manufacturers and innovators, offering products, services, and software that improve production efficiency and innovation. Their investor relations and corporate responsibility initiatives indicate a mature, publicly accountable organization. The presence of multiple regional sites and language options reflects a global footprint. Partnerships and venture investments foster innovation and market expansion. The business model is primarily B2B with a focus on long-term strategic relationships and technology leadership.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and a Content Security Policy enforcing upgrade-insecure-requests. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance. Performance monitoring is implemented through Boomerang and Adobe Analytics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of additional security headers like X-Frame-Options and a public security policy page limits transparency. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to improve defense in depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing website performance and accessibility to maintain excellent user experience.

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.
