DataStax is an enterprise technology company specializing in AI-optimized database platforms and cloud-native solutions. Their flagship product, Astra DB, is designed for ultra-low latency and scalability, targeting developers and enterprises building production-ready AI applications. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a focus on AI and cloud technologies, positioning DataStax as a leader in the technology sector. The company leverages modern web frameworks and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and business intelligence. Technically, the website is built on Next.js and React, indicating a modern and performant infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with comprehensive SEO and metadata implementation. Security best practices are evident through HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis, but the overall site professionalism and security posture suggest a legitimate and trustworthy enterprise. Security-wise, the site demonstrates strong HTTPS and header configurations, uses secure forms with consent mechanisms, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, the lack of publicly available security policies and vulnerability disclosure programs indicates areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR considerations. Overall, DataStax's website presents a high-quality, secure, and professional digital front that supports its enterprise business model. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing transparency around certifications and compliance frameworks to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

DataStax operates in the competitive technology sector, focusing on cloud databases and AI platforms. Their business model centers on providing scalable, low-latency database solutions for AI and enterprise applications, targeting developers and large organizations. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and a comprehensive marketing ecosystem, including partnerships with major advertising and analytics platforms. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, cloud services, and enterprise support. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on innovation and customer engagement, with clear calls to action and resources for developers. Growth indicators include the adoption of AI technologies and cloud-native architectures. The absence of explicit parent or subsidiary information suggests DataStax operates as an independent entity or under undisclosed ownership.

Security posture

The security posture of DataStax's website is robust, with mandatory HTTPS, strong security headers, and secure form implementations. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with consent mechanisms, indicating privacy awareness. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site demonstrates good alignment with GDPR requirements through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting an opportunity to enhance transparency and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Disclose relevant security certifications and compliance frameworks to build trust.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

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.
