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

NetApp is a leading enterprise data storage and cloud data services provider, offering intelligent data infrastructure solutions embedded within major public cloud platforms. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in San Jose, California, NetApp serves enterprise IT professionals with a broad portfolio including unified data storage, hybrid cloud solutions, and subscription-based storage services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, advanced search capabilities via Coveo, and robust analytics through Adobe Analytics and mPulse, hosted on Akamai's CDN infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly detailed. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is unusual but does not detract significantly from the site's trustworthiness given the strong external trust signals and professional presentation. Overall, NetApp's website demonstrates a high level of digital maturity, security awareness, and business credibility appropriate for a global technology enterprise.

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

4 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 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

      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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 4 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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 holds a strong market position as a technology leader in enterprise data storage and hybrid cloud infrastructure. Its business model focuses on providing hardware, software, and cloud-integrated storage solutions to large enterprises and cloud service providers. The company leverages partnerships and a broad ecosystem, including Instaclustr and partner hubs, to extend its service offerings. Revenue streams likely include product sales, subscription services (Keystone), and support contracts. The website targets IT decision-makers and technical professionals, emphasizing flexibility, scalability, and intelligent data management. Growth indicators include continuous product updates, cloud integration, and a focus on AI data intelligence. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides extensive resources such as documentation, community forums, and learning services.

Security posture

NetApp's website security posture is robust, featuring HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configurations and multiple security headers that mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The site employs cookie consent management compliant with GDPR, and no sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response details, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. The WHOIS data unavailability is a minor concern but likely due to registrar or query limitations rather than malicious intent. Overall, the security maturity is high, but improvements in security communication and disclosure would enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks.
  5. Ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly accessible to improve domain trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript, jQuery, Coveo search platform, Adobe Analytics, and Akamai CDN services. It uses service workers for performance optimization and integrates a comprehensive cookie consent solution via Transcend. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and asynchronous script loading. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting appears to be on Akamai's global CDN, ensuring fast and reliable content delivery. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised.
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.
