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

InfluxData operates a leading time series data platform, InfluxDB, which is widely adopted by developers and enterprises for real-time data ingestion, analytics, and monitoring. The company offers both open source and enterprise-grade solutions, including cloud-managed and self-managed deployments, targeting industries such as IoT, AI, and infrastructure monitoring. Their market position is strong, supported by a large developer community, extensive integrations, and recognized industry leadership. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks and technologies, with excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO. The presence of multiple client libraries and code examples demonstrates a mature developer ecosystem. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are not published. WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given its professional presentation and community trust. Overall, InfluxData presents a credible, professional, and technically advanced platform with room to improve transparency around security policies and incident response.

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

6 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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

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

InfluxData's business model centers on providing a specialized time series database platform with both open source and commercial offerings. Their revenue streams likely include cloud subscriptions, enterprise licenses, and support services. The target customers are developers, enterprises, and industries requiring real-time data analytics such as aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. The company benefits from a strong open source community, extensive integrations, and partnerships. Growth indicators include high download counts, active social media presence, and G2 leadership recognition. The website content and structure reflect a mature marketing and developer engagement strategy, emphasizing ease of use, scalability, and integration capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management via OneTrust. Tracking and marketing tools are used responsibly with consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security documentation and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider listing certifications or compliance attestations if applicable.
  5. Enhance contact information availability with verified company emails or phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bulma CSS, jQuery, Font Awesome, and multiple JavaScript libraries for analytics and marketing (Google Tag Manager, Marketo, VWO). It is hosted likely on AWS infrastructure with CDN support via CloudFront. The site is built on WordPress CMS, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Code examples in multiple languages indicate a strong developer focus. The site implements SEO best practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.
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.
