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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Datadog operates in the technology sector, targeting cloud and IT professionals requiring comprehensive monitoring and analytics solutions. Its SaaS business model focuses on subscription revenue from enterprise clients. The company holds a strong market position as a trusted cloud monitoring platform with a global presence. The website's content and technical infrastructure reflect a mature digital operation with a focus on security and performance. The lack of visible contact or policy pages in the analyzed content suggests these may be located elsewhere or require authentication. No suspicious domains or partners were identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses a reputable CDN provider (Amazon Cloudfront) for content delivery, enhancing security and performance. The inclusion of Datadog's own RUM script indicates active monitoring of user experience. However, the absence of certain security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security score slightly. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The login form is present but no detailed analysis of input sanitization or backend security is possible from the front-end content alone. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for enterprise domains and does not raise immediate concerns.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Ensure privacy and cookie policies are easily accessible and clearly communicated to users to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain WHOIS information accuracy and consider providing verified business contact details to enhance legitimacy signals.

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.
