Security score

69/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.garmin.com is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) security challenge page employing Turnstile captcha verification. This prevents access to any substantive website content, including business information, contact details, or policies. The WHOIS query for the domain returned no data, indicating registry-level privacy or query restrictions. Garmin is a globally recognized brand, but the lack of accessible WHOIS data and website content limits the ability to perform a full security, compliance, and business analysis. The site uses Cloudflare services for security and analytics, indicating a modern infrastructure but currently blocks automated or high-volume queries. Overall, the site’s security posture cannot be fully assessed due to the blocking mechanism, and no privacy or compliance policies are visible.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Due to the WAF challenge blocking access, no direct business intelligence data could be extracted from the website content. Garmin is known as a technology company specializing in GPS navigation and wearable technology. The domain’s WHOIS data is unavailable, which is unusual but may be due to privacy protection or registry restrictions. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified from the content. The lack of visible contact or policy information limits assessment of customer engagement or compliance maturity.

Security posture

The presence of a Cloudflare WAF with Turnstile captcha indicates a strong perimeter defense against automated threats and abuse. However, the inability to access the site content prevents verification of security headers, SSL configuration, or internal security policies. No exposed vulnerabilities or sensitive data were detected in the accessible content, but the lack of data also means no security best practices can be confirmed. The WHOIS data absence reduces transparency and trust scoring. Overall, the security posture appears cautious but cannot be fully evaluated.

Recommendations

  1. Provide a mechanism to allow trusted security scanners or analysts to bypass WAF challenges for legitimate analysis.
  2. Publish accessible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to demonstrate compliance and transparency.
  3. Ensure WHOIS data is available or provide verified registrant information to improve domain trustworthiness.
  4. Implement visible security headers and SSL/TLS best practices on the public-facing site.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, utilizing their challenge platform and Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation. The site loads minimal HTML content focused on the challenge interface, with no visible CMS or frameworks detected. Performance and SEO cannot be assessed due to content blocking. The use of Cloudflare Insights indicates some level of analytics tracking. The technical stack is modern but currently restricts access, limiting evaluation of infrastructure quality or technical debt.
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.
