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

The Khronos Group operates the official OpenGL website, providing authoritative resources, documentation, and news for the OpenGL graphics API. The organization is well-established with a domain registered since 1997, reflecting its long-standing presence in the graphics technology industry. The website targets developers and technology professionals seeking high-performance graphics standards and related tools. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and search functionality. Hosting is provided by DigitalOcean, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism despite use of tracking scripts. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves as a key resource hub for the graphics development community.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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.

    • 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 Khronos Group is a recognized standards organization in the technology sector, focusing on open APIs for graphics and compute. Their business model centers on providing specifications, developer resources, and fostering community engagement rather than direct commercial sales. The organization maintains strong partnerships with major hardware vendors like NVIDIA, enhancing ecosystem adoption. The website content and linked domains reflect a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on developer enablement. Growth indicators include active news updates and event participation. The company operates primarily in the US with a medium organizational size. The lack of direct e-commerce or monetization on the site aligns with their standards body role.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms despite tracking scripts indicates partial privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a standards organization website but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and published security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels.
  4. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security documentation to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern technology stack with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It integrates Google services for analytics and search, enhancing user experience and data insights. Hosting on DigitalOcean provides reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed possible through optimization. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Accessibility is basic but could be improved to meet higher standards. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for modernization and enhanced security features.
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.
