Risk levelMedium

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

Broadcom Inc. is a global leader in technology, specializing in semiconductor products, enterprise software, and security solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence targeting enterprise customers and technology professionals. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies such as React and Cloudflare CDN, with extensive use of third-party marketing and analytics tools to support business operations and user engagement. However, the website currently suffers from a critical security shortfall due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which significantly impacts its security posture. While security headers are well configured, the lack of HTTPS undermines user trust and data protection. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility but requires urgent security improvements to align with best practices.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Broadcom maintains a strong market position as a technology enterprise with a broad portfolio of semiconductor and software products. The business model focuses on B2B enterprise solutions, supported by a global presence including localized domains. The company leverages a comprehensive marketing ecosystem with tools like Eloqua and AdRoll, indicating mature digital marketing strategies. The absence of explicit contact information on the main page suggests a focus on partner and enterprise customer engagement through controlled channels. The domain registration and DNS infrastructure are consistent with a reputable enterprise, supporting legitimacy and operational stability.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weakened by the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential interception and undermining trust. Despite this, the presence of multiple security headers such as CSP, HSTS (though disabled), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection indicates awareness of security best practices. The site uses HttpOnly and Secure flags on cookies, enhancing session security. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to improve security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure all site traffic.
  2. Enable and properly configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the main site.
  4. Add explicit contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  5. Implement a public vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to foster responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend served via Cloudflare CDN, enhancing performance and security. Multiple third-party scripts support analytics, marketing, and user tracking, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting incomplete data or potential loading issues. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic to good, with proper meta tags and language alternates. The lack of a CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary platform. DNS records are well configured with multiple A records and Google MX servers, supporting reliable email delivery. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records is noted but not critical. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires SSL/TLS improvements and performance monitoring enhancements.
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.
