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. 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

  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.

    • 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

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

Harness occupies a strong market position in the DevOps and software delivery automation space, leveraging AI to differentiate its offerings. The business model is SaaS-based, targeting large enterprises and engineering organizations. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform modules and professional services. The company has expanded through acquisitions such as Split Software and Traceable.ai, broadening its security and feature management capabilities. The target customer segments are technology-driven enterprises seeking engineering excellence and operational efficiency. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with developer tools and cloud providers. Growth indicators include recent financing rounds and active content marketing via blogs, webinars, and developer resources. Harness emphasizes open source commitment and community engagement, supporting its market credibility.

Security posture

The website and platform exhibit a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure data collection via Marketo forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details represents a compliance gap. Data protection practices appear aligned with GDPR, supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The security culture is evidenced by dedicated security pages and integration of security testing orchestration products. To further mature security posture, Harness should consider publishing explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the security page.
  3. Obtain and display recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2) to strengthen trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with detailed data retention and processing policies.

Technical notes

Notes

Harness's website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Rive JS for animations and Coveo Atomic for search functionality. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management. The site demonstrates fast loading times, excellent mobile responsiveness, and good accessibility features. The technical infrastructure is robust, with CDN usage for static assets and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Opportunities exist to further improve SEO through structured data enhancements and to formalize technical security controls such as CSP reporting.
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.
