0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Fortinet is a global leader in cybersecurity solutions and services, delivering comprehensive protection across the digital attack surface including devices, data, applications, and networks. The company targets enterprises, service providers, government organizations, and SMBs with a broad portfolio of AI-powered security products and services such as next-generation firewalls, unified SASE, cloud security, and operational technology security. Fortinet maintains a strong market position supported by extensive certifications and a global partner ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager with modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates analytics and consent management tools. However, the SSL configuration is currently invalid, which negatively impacts the security posture. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, reflecting good compliance practices. Overall, Fortinet’s website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness but requires immediate remediation of SSL issues to enhance security and user trust.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Fortinet operates in the technology sector with a focus on cybersecurity, offering a converged security and networking platform that addresses the needs of diverse customer segments globally. The company leverages AI and automation to enhance security operations and network management. Its business model includes product sales, subscription-based security services, and professional services. Fortinet’s extensive partner network and certifications reinforce its competitive advantage. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with multilingual support and targeted solutions for various industries and business sizes. The company’s market leadership is further evidenced by analyst recognitions and a strong social media footprint.

Security posture

The website’s security posture shows strengths in email protection (SPF records) and absence of common SSL/TLS vulnerabilities. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support are critical weaknesses that expose users to potential risks. The absence of HSTS and DNSSEC reduces the overall security hardening. Fortinet demonstrates commitment to security through published certifications and a trust center, but the website’s technical security implementation needs urgent improvement. No incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy was found, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and responsiveness.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and correctly configure SSL certificates to enable HTTPS and TLS 1.2+ support.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Deploy DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to strengthen domain security.
  4. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Enhance security headers and conduct regular security audits to maintain best practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates multiple modern JavaScript libraries including New Relic for performance monitoring and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure as indicated by IP addresses. Performance is currently slow with a page load time of approximately 19 seconds and a large page size (~1MB). The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS support are significant technical risks. The site uses lazy loading for images and SVG graphics for interactive content, reflecting a modern front-end design. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but requires SSL and performance optimizations.
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.
