Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

80/100

Risk levelLow

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

Indus Towers Limited is a leading enterprise in the telecommunications infrastructure sector in India, operating one of the largest mobile tower networks globally. The company provides critical telecom tower infrastructure, power solutions, and space leasing services to telecom operators across all 22 telecom circles in India. Their business model focuses on shared infrastructure to optimize telecom network deployment and operational efficiency. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for data insights. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place; however, the absence of security headers and public security policies indicates room for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness, but the overall business credibility and digital footprint support legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and verifying domain registration details to improve transparency and 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

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

Indus Towers holds a strong market position as a major telecom infrastructure provider in India, leveraging a large portfolio of towers and co-locations. Their partnerships with major telecom operators and presence in all telecom circles indicate a broad customer base and stable revenue streams. The company emphasizes sustainability and innovation, as evidenced by multiple awards and CSR projects. The website targets telecom operators, landowners, partners, investors, and customers, providing detailed information on offerings, investor relations, and sustainability initiatives. The digital ecosystem includes integration with Google marketing and analytics tools, supporting data-driven decision-making. The absence of explicit terms of service and limited public security policies suggests an opportunity to enhance corporate governance transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not publicly disclose incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies, which could hinder coordinated security incident management. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but can be strengthened by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.4, CreateJS, and UI components like Slick Slider and Fancybox. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Custom Search Engine for analytics and search functionality. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and Google domains, indicating a reliance on established third-party services. Performance is moderate with some preloading optimizations. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The absence of visible security headers and limited hosting provider information suggests potential areas for infrastructure enhancement. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence but would benefit from security and accessibility improvements.
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.
