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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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';…

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

NordVPN operates in the competitive VPN market, offering key services such as traffic encryption and IP masking to a global audience. The website references multiple related domains within the Nord brand ecosystem, suggesting a broad product portfolio and integrated service offerings. The business targets privacy-conscious consumers and possibly corporate clients through related business domains. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS data is justified given the nature of the VPN industry. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policy on the main page may limit trust for some users but is somewhat mitigated by brand recognition and technical indicators.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security indicators. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no published security or incident response policies were found. The cookie consent mechanism supports GDPR and US_CA compliance, but the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service reduces overall privacy compliance confidence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analyzed content. The security posture is moderate but could be improved by publishing detailed security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main site.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO metadata to enhance user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript assets hosted on nordcdn.com and Cloudflare CDN, indicating a contemporary tech stack. The site is mobile optimized with smooth scrolling and responsive design elements. Cookie consent scripts are implemented with GDPR and US_CA presets, showing awareness of privacy regulations. Hosting via Cloudflare provides performance and security benefits. However, the absence of CMS identification and limited metadata beyond Open Graph tags suggests a custom or minimal CMS usage. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. No broken elements or errors were detected in the provided content.
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.
