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

NordVPN operates a comprehensive VPN service platform, offering fast, secure, and privacy-focused internet access to a global audience. The website reflects a mature and professional brand with a broad product portfolio including VPN, threat protection, dedicated IPs, and other cybersecurity tools. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web frameworks such as Astro and SolidJS, hosted likely behind Cloudflare, ensuring fast and reliable performance with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and domain transfer protection, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service links in the analyzed content. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-branded, and positioned as a market leader in VPN services.

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. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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 leading market position in the VPN industry, targeting general internet users seeking privacy and security. The business model is subscription-based with multiple product offerings under the Nord brand, including business VPN solutions and cybersecurity tools. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals such as money-back guarantees and third-party recognitions. The ecosystem includes several partner domains offering complementary services, enhancing the overall value proposition. The domain age and WHOIS data support legitimacy and consistent business operations since 2018.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and domain transfer lock status. The use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN adds resilience and performance benefits. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Cookie consent and GDPR-related scripts indicate awareness of privacy regulations, though explicit privacy documentation is missing.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents prominently linked on the website.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain and enhance cookie consent mechanisms to ensure full GDPR compliance and user privacy.

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.
