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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

  3. 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

HPE Aruba Networking operates within the technology sector, focusing on enterprise networking and security solutions. Its business model centers on providing AI-driven, cloud-scale networking products and services that enhance security and operational efficiency. The company benefits from its parent Hewlett Packard Enterprise's global reach and resources, enabling extensive partner ecosystems and customer support. Key revenue streams likely include hardware sales, software subscriptions, cloud services, and professional support. The website's multilingual support and regional targeting indicate a global market approach. Strategic partnerships and community engagement through platforms like Airheads Community and developer hubs strengthen its competitive advantage. The company emphasizes innovation in Zero Trust security and AI automation, positioning itself strongly in the evolving networking market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of consent management tools such as TrustArc. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies, incident response procedures, and dedicated security contact channels are not found, representing an area for improvement. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site follows best practices for web security but could enhance its security culture and incident readiness by publishing formal policies and contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Verify and enhance HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Increase transparency on data retention and privacy compliance details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of HPE's HFWS framework and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and LazySizes for performance optimization. It employs Autoptimize for asset minification and TrustArc for consent management. The site is hosted likely on Hewlett Packard Enterprise infrastructure, ensuring reliability and scalability. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed with responsive design and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and security headers is recommended to maintain security and compliance.
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.
