NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

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. 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 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 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

  3. 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

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Google operates in the technology sector with a business model centered on advertising revenue, cloud services, and software products. Its market leadership is supported by a vast ecosystem of subsidiaries such as YouTube, Android, DeepMind, and Waymo. The company targets a broad audience including consumers, advertisers, and enterprises. Google's competitive advantages include its brand recognition, technological innovation, and extensive data analytics capabilities. The website links to multiple Google-owned domains, reinforcing its integrated service offerings. Strategic partnerships and acquisitions further strengthen its market position and growth potential.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of secure cookies and absence of vulnerable libraries indicate adherence to best practices. While no explicit security policies or incident response contacts were found on the homepage, Google's known corporate policies and infrastructure suggest strong compliance and readiness. No signs of malware, phishing, or other security threats were detected. The site is not blocked by any WAF or security challenge, allowing full content access.

Recommendations

  1. Ensure privacy and cookie policies are easily discoverable and clearly linked on the homepage to enhance privacy compliance transparency.
  2. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  3. Consider publishing explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users and security researchers.
  4. Enhance contact information availability for security and privacy inquiries to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Continue investing in accessibility and SEO improvements to maintain leadership in user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

Google.com is hosted on Google's own infrastructure, leveraging modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with Google Fonts integration. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with explicit ARIA roles and labels. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built platform. The technical stack reflects a high level of maturity and scalability suitable for enterprise-grade operations.
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.
