Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.
Launchpad is a mature software collaboration platform owned by Canonical Ltd., providing a comprehensive suite of services including bug tracking, code hosting, code reviews, and Ubuntu package building. It serves a broad audience of software developers and open source communities, integrating tightly with the Ubuntu ecosystem. The platform is well-established, with a domain age consistent with its founding in 2004, and maintains a strong market position as a key tool for open source project management. Technically, the website employs a mix of modern and legacy technologies such as YUI and Vanilla Framework, delivering good performance, accessibility, and SEO optimization. Hosting and domain management are consistent with Canonical's infrastructure, and the site is fully accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms. However, some modernization opportunities exist, particularly in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized domain changes, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. No direct contact emails or phone numbers for security or incident response were found, and no security.txt file is published. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, though cookie consent mechanisms are absent. Overall, Launchpad presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency, cookie consent, and DNS security would enhance its security posture and compliance standing.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
