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

NordVPN is a well-established VPN service provider founded in 2017, offering fast, secure, and risk-free VPN solutions to a global audience seeking online privacy and unrestricted internet access. The website presents a professional brand image with consistent branding and multi-language support, targeting general internet users concerned about privacy and security. The business model is subscription-based, focusing on encryption, IP masking, and secure browsing services. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks, Cloudflare DNS, and consent management scripts, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Hosting is likely via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS services. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and domain transfer protection, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy or terms of service policies in the provided content. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF blocking, and WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business claims.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  3. 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

NordVPN holds a strong market position as a leading VPN provider with a broad ecosystem of related domains and services such as NordPass and NordLocker. The company targets privacy-conscious consumers and businesses, leveraging subscription revenue streams. The presence of multiple related domains suggests a comprehensive brand strategy and partnership ecosystem. However, the absence of explicit contact information and detailed legal policies on the site may limit trust for some users. The company appears to operate primarily in the technology sector with a focus on cybersecurity and privacy solutions. Growth indicators include multi-language support and integration of consent management tools, reflecting awareness of global privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection status. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security headers, and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy regulations but lacks comprehensive privacy policy documentation. No contact channels for security incidents were identified. These factors suggest room for improvement in compliance with GDPR and NIS2 directives and enhancing incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear and verified contact information including security incident contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern JavaScript-based tech stack with asynchronous script loading and consent management integration. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. The site is multi-lingual with canonical and hreflang tags for SEO optimization. However, no CMS or specific frameworks were detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but functional. The absence of explicit security headers and DNSSEC represents technical risks. The site could benefit from improved technical documentation and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
