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

NetApp is a leading enterprise data storage and cloud infrastructure company founded in 1992, headquartered in San Jose, California. The company specializes in providing intelligent data infrastructure solutions that span on-premises storage, hybrid cloud, and public cloud environments. Their offerings include all-flash and hybrid storage systems, cloud volumes, data services such as backup, recovery, and ransomware protection, and hybrid multicloud management through platforms like BlueXP. NetApp holds a strong market position as a trusted technology provider for enterprise IT professionals and cloud architects. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern JavaScript frameworks, integration of Coveo search, Adobe Analytics, and Akamai service workers for performance and security. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessibility, and SEO, reflecting a high level of digital maturity. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with active consent mechanisms implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configurations and includes multiple security headers such as HSTS and CSP. While explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed, the presence of ISO 27001 certification and secure web practices indicate a robust security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with enterprise standards. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy or registry policies rather than suspicious activity. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NetApp operates in the technology sector with a focus on enterprise data storage and cloud infrastructure. The company leverages a business model centered on selling hardware and software solutions for data management across hybrid and public clouds. Revenue streams likely include product sales, subscription services, and cloud consumption models such as Keystone. The target customers are large enterprises and IT professionals requiring scalable, secure, and intelligent data infrastructure. NetApp maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including subsidiaries like BlueXP and partners such as Instaclustr, enhancing its market reach and service offerings. The company demonstrates growth through continuous innovation in AI, cyber resilience, and cloud transformation solutions.

Security posture

NetApp's website security posture is strong, with enforced HTTPS, modern SSL configurations, and comprehensive security headers. The use of Akamai service workers and cookie consent mechanisms further enhance security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of publicly available detailed security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure programs represents an area for improvement. The site shows no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and consent management. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from increased transparency and formalized disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response documentation on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy compliance measures.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript, jQuery, Coveo search integration, Adobe Analytics, and Akamai CDN with service workers for enhanced performance and security. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are implemented to a good standard, and SEO is robust with comprehensive meta tags and structured data. Hosting appears to be via Akamai, providing reliable global delivery. There is no detected technical debt or legacy technology that could impair operations. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer frameworks or enhancing security transparency.
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.
