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

Box operates a B2B SaaS subscription model focusing on cloud content management solutions for enterprises. Its competitive advantages include strong security certifications, a comprehensive compliance framework, and integration with leading marketing and analytics platforms such as Adobe Target and Adobe Analytics. The company targets large organizations requiring secure collaboration and data governance. Growth indicators include extensive use of advanced tracking and personalization technologies, reflecting a data-driven approach to customer engagement. Partnerships with domains like box.org and box.csod.com suggest a broader ecosystem supporting its services. The company’s branding is consistent and professional, reinforcing its market leadership in cloud content management.

Security posture

Box exhibits a mature security posture with multiple industry-standard certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA). The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers such as Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Use of secure cookies with SameSite attributes and integration with Adobe Target for secure personalization further enhance security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Incident response contacts are provided, indicating readiness to handle security events. However, the absence of a security.txt file and limited public data protection officer information suggest areas for improvement in transparency and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  2. Enhance public documentation of the Data Protection Officer contact to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tags to minimize potential security risks.
  4. Increase incident response transparency by providing detailed procedures and timelines.
  5. Continue improving accessibility compliance to ensure inclusivity for all users.

Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses secure cookies and enforces HTTPS, reflecting strong technical security controls.

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.
