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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 8 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

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

Meta holds a dominant market position in social media and immersive technology sectors, with a diversified portfolio of products and services. Their business model centers on technology innovation, advertising revenue, and hardware sales. The company targets a broad audience including consumers, developers, businesses, and creators. Strategic partnerships, such as with Ray-Ban for AI glasses, enhance their ecosystem. The website content and linked domains confirm a well-established, enterprise-scale operation with global reach and significant brand equity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and advanced browser security features like Trusted Types. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, incident response contact information is not prominently available, which could be improved. The extensive use of tracking pixels is balanced with consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with privacy standards. Overall, the security maturity is high, supporting the company's reputation and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Maintain continuous security audits and update security headers as new threats emerge.
  3. Increase disclosure on data retention policies to align with best privacy practices.
  4. Monitor third-party scripts and tracking pixels regularly to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Promote user education on privacy and security features available on the platform.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React and BigPipe for efficient rendering and performance. Hosting is managed via Meta's own CDN infrastructure, ensuring fast load times globally. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is enhanced through structured data (JSON-LD) and comprehensive meta tags. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built platform. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with minimal technical debt visible. Opportunities exist to further enhance accessibility and transparency around data practices.
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.
