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

Google LLC operates the world's leading search engine and offers a broad portfolio of internet-related services and products, including advertising technologies, cloud computing, software, and hardware. The company holds a dominant market position globally and serves a general audience with a focus on technology and innovation. The website reflects Google's brand identity with a professional design, excellent content quality, and consistent branding. Technically, the site leverages advanced JavaScript frameworks and Google proprietary technologies, hosted on Google Cloud Platform, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, employs comprehensive security headers, and follows best practices, resulting in a strong security posture. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies were not found in the provided HTML content, which slightly impacts privacy compliance scoring. Overall, the website is highly credible, secure, and professionally maintained.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside
  5. (e) Secure acquisition, development and maintenance, including vulnerability handling: Partly checked
  6. (f) Assessing the effectiveness of security measures: Not visible from outside
  7. (g) Cyber hygiene and security training: Not visible from outside
  8. (h) Cryptography and encryption: Partly checked
  9. (i) HR security, access control and asset management: One indicator
  10. (j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      A Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only header is set, but it only reports violations; nothing is blocked, so an injected script would still run.

      What to do: Start with "Content-Security-Policy: object-src 'none'; base-uri 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'" and add a script-src that lists your script origins or uses nonces. Test with a Report-Only header first.

      • 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. 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.

    • Medium

      Weak Protocols Supported

      The server still accepts TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0, deprecated by RFC 8996. Modern browsers no longer use them, but they let outdated clients connect with weak cryptography.

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1; keep TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 (in CDN dashboards this is the "minimum TLS version" setting).

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Website hygiene

    Outdated scripts and CMS versions are how most small-business sites get compromised; a security.txt file tells researchers where to report what they find.

    • Medium

      HTTP does not redirect to HTTPS

      http://www.google.com/, http://google.com/ answer over unencrypted HTTP (status 200) instead of redirecting to HTTPS, so visitors who type the address or follow old links are not protected.

      What to do: Configure a permanent (301) redirect from every http:// URL to the same https:// URL, then enable HSTS.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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

Google's market positioning as a technology giant is reinforced by its extensive service offerings and global reach. The business model centers on advertising revenue complemented by cloud services and hardware sales. The company targets a broad audience, including consumers, businesses, and developers. Google's ecosystem includes numerous subsidiaries and partner domains, enhancing its market dominance. The website's design and technical infrastructure support a seamless user experience and robust digital presence. Strategic partnerships and continuous innovation underpin Google's competitive advantage and growth trajectory.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and secure form handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of explicit incident response or security policy pages in the provided content limits assessment in those areas. Google's established security culture and infrastructure likely ensure rapid response to threats and compliance with global standards. Recommendations include maintaining vigilance on third-party libraries and enhancing transparency around privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit and easily accessible privacy and cookie policies on the main website.
  2. Implement a clear cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Provide dedicated security and incident response policy pages to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user awareness about data protection practices and rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a sophisticated tech stack including modern JavaScript, Google Fonts, and SVG graphics. It is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, ensuring high availability and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with SEO best practices implemented. The use of proprietary Google frameworks and scripts indicates a custom-built platform tailored for scalability and security. Performance is fast with minimal latency. Opportunities exist to improve documentation of privacy and security policies and to maintain up-to-date dependency management.
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.
