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. 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

The website is part of a broader NordVPN brand ecosystem, linking to multiple related domains handling payments, account management, and additional security products like NordPass and NordLocker. The business model is subscription-based VPN services targeting privacy-conscious internet users globally. The company is positioned as a leading VPN provider with a large user base and consistent branding. The absence of direct contact information on this site suggests a focus on automated or centralized customer support through other domains. The marketing and analytics tools used are standard for the industry, with moderate user tracking and cookie consent in place. The website's content and structure support a professional and credible online presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare DNS, which enhances security and performance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security hardening. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which is a gap in security transparency. The domain's WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, with no privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. Cookie consent is implemented, but privacy policy and terms of service are missing, which may impact compliance. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to improve header implementation and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main site.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO metadata to enhance user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript and proprietary scripts from the NordVPN ecosystem, with Cloudflare DNS providing hosting and CDN services. The site is mobile optimized with smooth scrolling and responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with preconnect hints to nordcdn.com domains for resource loading. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site build. Cookie consent and experiment tracking scripts indicate a mature marketing and analytics setup. However, the absence of some SEO and accessibility best practices suggests room for technical improvements. No broken elements or errors were detected in the provided content.
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.
