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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 19 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 strong market position as a top-tier VPN provider with a subscription-based business model targeting privacy-conscious consumers globally. Their ecosystem includes related services such as NordPass and NordLocker, indicating diversification in cybersecurity offerings. The company benefits from a consistent brand presence and a broad partner network handling payments and support. Revenue streams primarily come from VPN subscriptions with options for monthly and yearly plans. The website's content and structure reflect a focus on ease of purchase and customer trust. Growth indicators include extensive domain portfolio and integration of modern tracking and consent tools. Strategic partnerships and subsidiaries enhance their competitive advantage in the cybersecurity market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and presence of security headers. Cookie consent management is implemented with GDPR and US_CA presets, indicating compliance efforts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as security.txt reduces transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security improvement opportunity. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main website.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response information including dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@, abuse@).
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and enhance cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services for hosting and performance optimization. Cookie consent scripts and analytics tracking are integrated to support privacy compliance and user behavior analysis. The site is mobile-optimized and loads quickly, reflecting good performance practices. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears low with clean meta tags and SEO optimization. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security by enabling DNSSEC and to enhance transparency by publishing additional security and compliance documentation.
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.
