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. 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.

    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 7 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Meta's Facebook platform targets a broad general audience, focusing on social connectivity and digital content sharing. The business model revolves around advertising revenue, leveraging extensive user data collected via cookies and tracking pixels. The company operates at an enterprise scale with multiple subsidiaries and partner domains integrated into its ecosystem. The German localized site reflects Meta's global strategy of regional customization while maintaining consistent branding and service offerings. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies indicates strong regulatory compliance. Meta's competitive advantage lies in its vast user base, technological infrastructure, and diversified service portfolio.

Security posture

Facebook's German site exhibits a robust security posture with HTTPS enforced and security headers implied by the presence of HSTS pixels. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and uses secure forms for user login. While no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are listed on the landing page, the overall infrastructure suggests adherence to industry best practices. The absence of vulnerabilities and the use of modern frameworks contribute to a secure environment. However, explicit public-facing security policies and incident response information could enhance transparency and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact details to comply with GDPR best practices.
  4. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Maintain and communicate clear data retention and privacy compliance policies to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including React, BigPipe, and asynchronous JavaScript loading to optimize performance and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the use of Facebook's CDN domains indicates robust infrastructure. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Technical risks are minimal given the mature infrastructure, though continuous monitoring and modernization are recommended to sustain operational excellence.
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.
