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

Facebook's market positioning as a top social media platform is reinforced by its extensive service offerings and integration with Meta's ecosystem, including Instagram, Messenger, and Threads. Its business model relies heavily on advertising revenue, supported by advanced marketing and analytics tools. The company targets a broad demographic, from individual users to businesses and advertisers. Growth is sustained through continuous innovation and expansion of services. Partnerships and subsidiaries are well integrated, enhancing the platform's reach and capabilities. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong brand consistency and professional content.

Security posture

Facebook exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure cookie attributes, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The site uses tracking and analytics scripts responsibly, with privacy policies clearly stated. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and limited public incident response information suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the analyzed content. The platform's scale and reputation imply rigorous internal security controls beyond the public-facing website. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is evident, supporting user data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and security contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Continue to update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
  5. Invest in user education and trust-building initiatives to reinforce security culture and platform integrity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a sophisticated tech stack including React and BigPipe for efficient content delivery and dynamic user experience. The use of asynchronous JavaScript loading and modular bootloader scripts indicates a modern front-end architecture. Performance is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. SEO practices are solid with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting details are not disclosed but likely utilize Meta's global infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports a scalable, high-availability service with minimal technical debt visible from the front-end.
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.
