Linux Foundation · Technology · N/a
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.
The Linux Foundation operates as a leading non-profit organization dedicated to fostering open source technology projects and ecosystems. It serves as a neutral and trusted hub for developers and organizations worldwide, providing resources such as project hosting, developer training, security guidance, and industry events. The foundation's market position is strong, with numerous high-profile open source projects and partnerships under its umbrella, targeting developers, enterprises, and open source communities globally. Technically, the website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Osano for consent management. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, supported by Google Tag Manager and HubSpot analytics for data collection and user tracking. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosure pages, and incident response contact information, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. Overall, the Linux Foundation's website reflects a mature digital presence with high content quality, strong business credibility, and good security posture. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for organizations of this scale and does not detract from its legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, vulnerability disclosure information, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.
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.
Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
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
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

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.
