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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

OVHcloud operates in the technology sector as a cloud infrastructure provider. Their business model focuses on offering scalable cloud services with competitive pricing and a broad product portfolio. The company leverages certifications and compliance frameworks to build trust with enterprise clients. Their digital ecosystem includes multiple regional sites and community engagement platforms. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for managed customer interactions via forms and portals. The company maintains active social media channels and a blog to engage customers and share updates. The missing WHOIS data is unusual for a company of this size and should be monitored for potential impacts on domain legitimacy perception.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of monitoring tools like Sentry. Certifications such as ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud further reinforce their commitment to security and compliance. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities. However, the absence of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms is a gap that could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is well-handled with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add verified company contact emails and phone numbers to facilitate direct communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics integrations for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Update WHOIS registration details to improve domain transparency and trust.

  7. Good mobile optimization and accessibility features.
  8. Security headers and HTTPS are properly implemented.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with asynchronous loading of analytics and error tracking scripts. The presence of preconnect hints and font preloading indicates performance optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented. The site is hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure, ensuring alignment with their service offerings. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
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.
