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. 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

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Facebook operates as a flagship social networking service under Meta Platforms, Inc., targeting a global user base with localized versions such as the French site analyzed. Its competitive advantage lies in its massive user network, integrated services (Instagram, Messenger, Threads), and sophisticated advertising platform. Revenue streams are primarily from advertising, leveraging detailed user data and advanced targeting capabilities. The target customers include individuals, businesses, and advertisers seeking social engagement and marketing opportunities. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements, expansion of services, and integration with Meta's broader ecosystem. Partnerships and subsidiaries strengthen its market dominance and service offerings. The company's operations reflect a mature, enterprise-level digital presence with strategic focus on user engagement and monetization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers like HSTS, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance with data protection regulations. However, explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is not publicly visible, which could be improved for transparency. The extensive use of tracking and analytics tools is balanced with privacy controls. Overall, the security maturity is high, supporting the platform's critical role in social networking and data handling.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance public visibility of incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Maintain and improve privacy compliance mechanisms in line with evolving regulations such as NIS2.
  4. Implement user education initiatives to raise awareness about privacy settings and security best practices.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy focusing on proactive threat detection and rapid incident response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including React for UI rendering and BigPipe for efficient page loading. The use of asynchronous JavaScript loading and CSS optimizations contributes to fast performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced to meet the highest standards. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the infrastructure supports high availability and scalability. Technical debt appears minimal with continuous updates and use of current web standards. Opportunities exist to further improve accessibility and transparency of security-related information.
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.
