Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.
Cloud.gov is a government-operated platform-as-a-service designed to enable federal agencies to deploy secure, compliant digital services efficiently. Operated by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), it offers modern application hosting, compliant federal public websites, and DevSecOps workspaces tailored for government needs. The platform is FedRAMP Moderate authorized, simplifying compliance and procurement for government teams. The website reflects a mature, professional government service with clear messaging and strong trust signals. Technically, Cloud.gov leverages modern web technologies including Astro, US Web Design System, and Google Fonts, hosted on AWS infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and the Digital Analytics Program, with moderate user tracking. Security posture is strong, with HTTPS enforced, FedRAMP Moderate compliance, continuous monitoring, and adherence to federal security frameworks such as NIST 800-53 and Zero Trust principles. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security.txt or explicit incident response contacts are published on the site. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking a cookie consent mechanism and explicit terms of service. Overall, Cloud.gov presents a trustworthy, secure, and professional government cloud platform with minor areas for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. The domain registration and WHOIS data align with the official government nature of the service, supporting high legitimacy and trustworthiness.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
