Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

84/100

Risk levelLow

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

Scaleway is a European enterprise-focused cloud and dedicated server rental provider offering high-performance dedicated servers starting from €4.99. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence built with Next.js and React technologies, optimized for mobile and desktop users. The company targets enterprise customers seeking reliable and scalable dedicated server solutions in Europe. Despite the professional presentation, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. Security posture appears moderate with no explicit security headers detected, suggesting room for enhancement in web security best practices. Overall, the website is functional and credible from a business perspective but would benefit from improved privacy disclosures and security configurations to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  2. 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

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

Scaleway operates in the technology sector, specializing in dedicated server rentals for enterprises. Their business model focuses on providing high-end, high-performance servers with competitive pricing. The company leverages modern web technologies and marketing tools such as HubSpot for lead generation and analytics. Scaleway's market position is strong in Europe, targeting businesses requiring dedicated infrastructure. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their market credibility. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and absence of explicit contact information on the analyzed page may limit direct customer engagement and trust signals. The company likely has a broader ecosystem of services and partnerships, but no related domains or partners were identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, but no detailed SSL configuration or security headers were identified in the provided data. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or terms of service, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, and no security certifications are mentioned. The use of HubSpot introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance appears basic. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing comprehensive security headers, clear privacy and cookie policies, and publicly available incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.
  5. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or ensure privacy protection is justified and transparent to users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, indicating a contemporary and scalable infrastructure. Images are optimized using WebP format, and HubSpot is integrated for marketing and analytics purposes. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. However, no CMS was detected, and hosting is likely managed by Scaleway itself. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The lack of visible security headers and privacy compliance features suggests technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional user experience but requires enhancements in security and privacy controls.
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.
