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

MikroTik is a well-established technology company specializing in networking hardware and software solutions, including routers, switches, and wireless systems. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Latvia, MikroTik serves a global audience of network engineers, ISPs, and technology integrators. The company offers a comprehensive product catalog, RouterOS operating system, and extensive training and certification programs, positioning itself as a key player in the networking technology industry. Technically, the website employs a modern but stable technology stack including jQuery, Foundation 5, and Modernizr, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site is hosted under a reputable registrar and shows moderate performance. However, some technical improvements could be made, such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers to enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, MikroTik's website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, reflecting the company's strong market position. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency would further strengthen the site’s security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

3 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

MikroTik operates in the technology and telecommunications sectors, manufacturing and selling networking hardware and software globally. Its business model includes product sales, training, and support services. The company benefits from a long domain history and a consistent brand presence. Its competitive advantages include a broad product portfolio, recognized certifications, and a global distributor network. The target customers are network professionals and ISPs. The company shows growth through active training programs and international partnerships. The ecosystem includes multiple training centers and distributors worldwide, supporting a strong community and market reach.

Security posture

MikroTik demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and improving compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to engage with security researchers and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and somewhat dated technology stack centered on jQuery 2.1.3 and Foundation 5, which provides responsive design and UI components. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond the registrar information. There is no evidence of a CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries, but the site remains functional and professional. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack and enhance security configurations.
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.
