The company positions itself as a cost-effective and fast solution trusted by over 29,000 companies worldwide, with a strong market presence supported by industry recognitions such as Gartner Magic Quadrant honorable mention and multiple awards. Their product suite covers a broad range of backup and replication services, including support for VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with multilingual support, comprehensive product information, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Visual Website Optimizer. It employs security best practices such as HTTPS, security headers, and secure form handling. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible, providing a professional user experience. From a security perspective, the site shows good posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism and dedicated security or incident response policies, which are recommended for compliance and transparency. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, though the website content and branding strongly indicate a legitimate business. Overall, NAKIVO presents as a credible and professional technology vendor with a strong market position and solid technical infrastructure. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further enhance trust and 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. Security headers

    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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

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

NAKIVO operates in the enterprise backup and disaster recovery market, targeting businesses requiring reliable data protection across virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS platforms. Their competitive advantage lies in offering integrated backup solutions at a lower total cost of ownership, supported by automation, ransomware protection, and multi-tenant MSP capabilities. Revenue streams likely include software licenses, subscriptions, and partner programs. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with resellers, MSPs, and technology partners. The website's multilingual support and global contact numbers indicate a broad international customer base. The presence of multiple industry awards and Gartner recognition supports a strong market reputation. Strategic observations include a focus on ease of deployment, flexible recovery options, and continuous product innovation, as evidenced by recent version releases and new language localizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form implementations. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable analytics and marketing tools is balanced with standard privacy practices, though the absence of a cookie consent banner and explicit security policies represents a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could limit transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adding dedicated security documentation, cookie consent mechanisms, and vulnerability disclosure policies to align with best practices and regulatory requirements such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide Data Protection Officer contact information to support GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring strong SEO optimization. It uses modern analytics and marketing technologies including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Visual Website Optimizer, and ActiveCampaign. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, fast loading times, and excellent mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The technical infrastructure supports multilingual content and integrates various third-party services for marketing and customer engagement. No technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained and modern web platform. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found, but the use of CDN and global analytics suggests a robust hosting environment.
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.
