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 8 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's market positioning as a social media giant is reinforced by its extensive ecosystem including subsidiaries like Instagram, Messenger, and Threads. The business model focuses on user engagement and monetization through targeted advertising and data analytics. The platform's global reach and brand consistency contribute to its competitive advantage. Partnerships and integrations with various marketing and analytics tools enhance its advertising capabilities. The company operates at an enterprise scale with a large user base and complex infrastructure. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and expansion into new digital services. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining privacy compliance and security to sustain user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

Facebook exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, secure cookie attributes, and script security measures such as nonces. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The platform likely employs advanced security frameworks and continuous monitoring, although explicit security policies or incident response contacts were not found on the main page. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. The extensive use of tracking pixels and marketing tools is balanced with user consent mechanisms. Recommendations include ongoing audits, dependency management, and enhanced transparency on data usage to maintain and improve security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance visibility and accessibility of security policies and incident response contacts to improve user trust and compliance.
  2. Maintain rigorous third-party library and dependency management to prevent vulnerabilities.
  3. Increase transparency around data collection, retention, and user privacy controls.
  4. Implement continuous security awareness and training programs to strengthen security culture.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy focusing on emerging threats and regulatory changes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including advanced JavaScript frameworks, BigPipe for performance optimization, and extensive use of asynchronous loading and caching strategies. Hosting is managed on Meta's own infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site is highly optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading and minimal blocking. Technical risks are low, but continuous modernization and monitoring are essential to mitigate potential technical debt and evolving security threats.
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.
