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 dominant social media platform is supported by its extensive user base and integration with Meta's ecosystem including Instagram, Messenger, and Oculus. The business model relies heavily on advertising revenue, supported by advanced tracking and marketing tools such as Meta Pixel and Facebook SDK. The company maintains a strong partnership and subsidiary network, enhancing its service offerings and market reach. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and expansion into new technologies like AI and virtual reality. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive policies and high-quality user experience.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS and Content Security Policy with nonce usage. Secure cookie attributes are configured to protect user sessions. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, explicit security policy and incident response contact information are not readily available on the landing page, which could be improved for transparency. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is noted. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices, supporting user trust and data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing frameworks and controls in place.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Maintain regular updates and audits of third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact information and compliance efforts.

Technical notes

Notes

Facebook's technical infrastructure is built on a modern and scalable technology stack including React for UI, GraphQL for data querying, and Relay for efficient data management. The site uses advanced video streaming technologies such as Shaka Player. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading, caching strategies, and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features and SEO optimizations are present, contributing to a high-quality user experience. Hosting is managed by Meta's own global infrastructure, ensuring reliability and scalability. Opportunities exist to further document technical security controls and improve public-facing compliance disclosures.
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.
