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

OVHcloud is a major European cloud computing and web hosting provider offering a broad portfolio of services including dedicated servers, VPS, bare metal, managed services, storage, and network security solutions. The company targets businesses and developers seeking scalable and cost-effective cloud infrastructure with a strong emphasis on compliance and data sovereignty. Their market position is that of a large enterprise with a global footprint and a comprehensive service offering. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern web technologies, responsive design, and good SEO practices. The use of security headers, HTTPS, and error tracking tools like Sentry indicates a proactive approach to security and reliability. The site is well-structured with multiple regional versions, supporting a global customer base. From a security perspective, OVHcloud maintains a strong posture with certifications such as ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud qualification. However, the absence of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security communication. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and compliance adherence. Overall, OVHcloud presents a low-risk profile with robust business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing incident response visibility, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and improving WHOIS transparency to further 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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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.

Business context

Business profile

OVHcloud operates in the competitive cloud infrastructure market, leveraging its European roots and compliance certifications to differentiate itself. Its business model focuses on providing open, reversible cloud services with competitive pricing. The company serves a diverse customer base including startups, SMBs, and enterprises, supported by a wide range of products from entry-level servers to high-grade dedicated hardware. OVHcloud's partnership ecosystem and regional sites indicate a strategic approach to market penetration and customer localization. Growth indicators include new product launches and expansion of eco-friendly server offerings. The company maintains a strong brand presence and trust signals through certifications and active community engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of OVHcloud is strong, with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and certifications such as ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud. The website does not expose sensitive data and uses modern security practices. However, the lack of publicly available incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Data protection practices appear robust, but explicit DPO contact information is not found. The company demonstrates a security-aware culture but could improve transparency and user trust by publishing more detailed security policies and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response contact information and procedures on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  3. Provide Data Protection Officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  4. Increase WHOIS data transparency to improve domain registration trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and update security certifications and compliance documentation regularly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5, likely powered by Drupal CMS. It uses Sentry for error tracking and custom analytics scripts. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. Hosting is provided by OVHcloud itself, ensuring control over infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible vulnerabilities or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance technical documentation and developer resources to support advanced users.
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.
