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

OVHcloud is a leading European cloud service provider founded in 1999, offering a broad range of cloud computing, hosting, and IT infrastructure services including dedicated servers, VPS, public and private cloud solutions, storage, and AI/machine learning platforms. The company positions itself as a trusted and sovereign cloud provider with a strong emphasis on data ownership, compliance, and sustainability. Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS with modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates advanced search and error tracking tools. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive content and navigation. Security-wise, while the site employs several security headers and has no known major vulnerabilities, the SSL certificate is currently invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols or HSTS are enabled, which significantly impacts the security posture. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms in place. Overall, the site reflects a mature, professional business with a strong market presence but requires urgent SSL and TLS configuration improvements to enhance security and trust.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

    • 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

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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, targeting businesses and enterprises requiring cloud infrastructure and hosting services. Its business model revolves around providing scalable, reversible, and compliant cloud solutions with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. The company has a large customer base of 1.6 million and a global infrastructure spanning 43 datacenters across 4 continents. It maintains a strong ecosystem of partners and subsidiaries such as Kimsufi and SoYouStart. OVHcloud emphasizes sustainability and data sovereignty, which are key differentiators in the competitive cloud market. The company also offers specialized solutions for industries like healthcare, finance, and public sector, supported by numerous certifications. Its strategic partnerships and comprehensive service portfolio position it as a significant player in the European and global cloud market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with the presence of important security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) are critical issues that reduce the overall security score. The site does not implement HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption, which are best practices for enhancing HTTPS security. No known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. The presence of an abuse contact email and compliance with multiple security certifications indicate a mature security culture. Nonetheless, immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is necessary to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently fix the SSL certificate to ensure it is valid and properly configured.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to secure communications.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Activate session resumption mechanisms such as session tickets or session cache to enhance performance and security.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust Drupal CMS platform with a modern JavaScript tech stack including Algolia for search and Sentry for error monitoring. It uses proprietary OVHcloud modules and follows good web development practices with responsive design and accessibility features. The site is hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure, leveraging their global network and datacenters. Performance metrics are not provided, but the use of preconnect hints and lazy loading indicates optimization efforts. The site integrates multiple languages and regional versions, supporting a global audience. Technical risks mainly stem from the SSL/TLS misconfiguration, which could impact user trust and data security.
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.
