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

6 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

OpenAI operates at the forefront of AI research and commercial deployment, targeting developers, businesses, and the general public interested in AI technologies. Its business model combines research, API services, and consumer products, generating revenue through API usage and enterprise solutions. The company maintains strategic partnerships with domains like chatgpt.com and sora.com, enhancing its ecosystem. Market positioning is strong as a pioneer in AGI development with a large enterprise scale and global reach. The website content and structure support clear communication of its offerings and corporate mission, reinforcing its leadership and innovation-driven brand.

Security posture

OpenAI exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled, multiple security headers, and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. However, explicit incident response contacts and a vulnerability disclosure policy are not publicly evident, which could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is high, supporting the company's trustworthiness and operational resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Azure DNS infrastructure. It leverages Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare Insights for analytics and performance monitoring. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with valid HTML and CSS. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading and responsive design. The technical stack is modern and scalable, supporting a high-quality user experience. Opportunities exist to further modernize DNS security and enhance security policy disclosures.
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.
