Risk levelLow

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

Avira is a well-established cybersecurity company offering a broad portfolio of security, privacy, and performance software solutions for multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. The company positions itself as a trusted provider of antivirus, VPN, system optimization, and password management tools, targeting both general consumers and business users globally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies, including Adobe DTM for tag management, Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, and various analytics tools, indicating a high level of digital maturity and performance optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, implements multiple security headers, and uses a consent management platform, demonstrating good security hygiene. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data for the domain is notable, though the overall trust signals and content quality suggest legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure information, and DPO contact details to enhance transparency and compliance.

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. 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"

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

Avira operates in the competitive cybersecurity market with a subscription-based business model focused on software sales and premium service offerings. Its product suite covers essential cybersecurity needs, including antivirus protection, VPN services, and system optimization, appealing to a broad audience from individual consumers to enterprises. The company maintains a strong online presence with multilingual support and active social media channels, supporting global reach. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. While the WHOIS data is unavailable, the brand's market position and product offerings align with a large, established technology company.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure program represents areas for improvement. The lack of explicit DPO contact information and security certifications reduces transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing additional security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact details for the Data Protection Officer to improve GDPR transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance trust by displaying relevant security certifications and compliance badges.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Launch for tag management, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring efficient analytics and marketing integration. It uses optimized image formats like WebP and font loading strategies to improve performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed, but performance indicators suggest a fast and reliable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting progressive web app features and enhancing accessibility 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.
