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

NordVPN is a leading global provider of VPN services, offering secure and private internet access to a broad audience of general internet users. The company operates a subscription-based business model with a strong market position supported by a suite of related products including NordPass, NordLocker, and NordLayer. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear, relevant content focused on VPN subscription plans and features. The brand consistency and trust indicators such as ISO 27001 certification and transparent privacy policies reinforce its credibility. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks (likely React), Cloudflare for hosting and security, and implements best practices in performance, SEO, and accessibility. The infrastructure is robust, with fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, although DNSSEC is not enabled. From a security posture perspective, NordVPN demonstrates a mature security approach with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The presence of ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance indicates strong data protection practices. However, the absence of a published security.txt file and explicit incident response contact details suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management transparency. Overall, the website and business present a low risk profile with high trustworthiness and professionalism. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security.txt file, and enhancing incident response communication to further strengthen security and compliance posture.

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

2 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 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. 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

NordVPN holds a prominent position in the VPN market, targeting privacy-conscious internet users worldwide. Its competitive advantages include a comprehensive product ecosystem, strong brand recognition, and adherence to international security standards such as ISO 27001. The subscription-based revenue model is supported by flexible payment options including cryptocurrencies, appealing to privacy-focused customers. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with related domains handling payments and additional services. Growth indicators include continuous product expansion and strong digital presence. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparency and compliance to sustain market leadership and customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of NordVPN's website is high, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The use of Cloudflare provides additional layers of defense including DDoS protection and WAF capabilities. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies. However, the lack of a security.txt file and explicit incident response contact channels represents a compliance gap. The company demonstrates a strong security culture but should enhance vulnerability disclosure and incident response readiness to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is modern and robust, utilizing JavaScript frameworks (likely React) and Cloudflare services for hosting and security. Performance is optimized with fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The absence of a common CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management solution, which may reduce common CMS-related vulnerabilities. SEO and accessibility are well addressed through proper meta tags and responsive design. Technical risks are minimal, but enabling DNSSEC and maintaining up-to-date third-party components are recommended to mitigate emerging threats.
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.
