Risk levelMedium

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

The website proof.ovh.net serves as a branded speed testing and iperf3 testing platform under OVHCloud, a recognized cloud infrastructure provider. It offers network bandwidth testing services and links to multiple related proof subdomains across various geographic locations. The site is basic in design and content but consistent with OVHCloud branding. The technical infrastructure relies on standard web technologies and integrates third-party nPerf scripts for performance testing. However, the lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about its registration status, possibly indicating it is a subdomain or internal service rather than a fully registered domain. Security posture is minimal with no detected security headers or privacy policies, and no contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and compliance. Overall, the site is functional for its intended technical purpose but lacks comprehensive security and privacy features.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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 large enterprise cloud infrastructure provider. This site appears to be a service offering for network performance testing, targeting general internet users and customers needing bandwidth verification. The business model is service-oriented, providing tools to measure network speed and performance. The presence of multiple geographically diverse proof subdomains suggests a global infrastructure footprint. The site lacks direct contact information or business registration details, which is typical for a technical utility page rather than a customer-facing commercial site. The partnership ecosystem includes nPerf for analytics and testing services integration. Growth indicators are not evident from this page alone.

Security posture

The security maturity of the site is low to moderate. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers in the provided data, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or security contact information is available, reducing the ability to report or respond to security issues. The site does not expose sensitive data or forms, which limits attack surface but also reduces user engagement features. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvement to meet enterprise standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies with integration of an external nPerf partner script for speed testing functionality. The site is hosted on OVHCloud infrastructure, consistent with the branding. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. There is no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. The site lacks modern security features and meta tags that would improve SEO and compliance. Technical debt appears low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to enhance security and user experience.
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.
