Medium risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.
The New York Times is a globally recognized media organization providing comprehensive news coverage, investigative journalism, opinion pieces, and multimedia content. It operates a subscription and advertising-based business model, serving a broad general audience with a focus on U.S. and international news. The company maintains a strong market position as a leading news provider with multiple subsidiary brands including NYT Cooking, Wirecutter, and The Athletic. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as React, GraphQL, and advanced monitoring tools like Datadog and Sentry, ensuring high performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent and GDPR adherence. However, public contact information for security incident response and vulnerability disclosure is not explicitly provided, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism, trustworthiness, and content quality, with no indications of adult or questionable content.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
