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

OVHcloud is a major European cloud service provider offering a broad portfolio of cloud infrastructure and hosting solutions including dedicated servers, VPS, bare metal, storage, and network security services. The company targets businesses and developers seeking scalable and cost-effective cloud computing resources. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive service descriptions, strong branding, and multi-regional support. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies, optimized performance, and good accessibility standards. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and error monitoring via Sentry. Privacy and compliance are well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms, reflecting GDPR adherence. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data slightly reduces transparency but does not detract from the overall legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance trust and security readiness.

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 holds a strong market position as a large European cloud provider with a diverse service portfolio catering to various business needs. Its business model focuses on providing open and reversible cloud services with competitive pricing. The company maintains a global footprint with localized sites and subsidiaries, indicating a scalable and international approach. Partnerships and community engagement are evident through dedicated portals and social media channels. The company’s compliance certifications such as ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud reinforce its credibility in regulated markets. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and expansion into managed services and eco-friendly server offerings.

Security posture

The website reflects a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Use of Sentry for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring. Compliance with recognized standards such as ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud is highlighted, though explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency in incident handling and vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance transparency on data retention and privacy practices.
  4. Maintain and update compliance certifications and communicate them clearly.
  5. Continue to optimize website performance and accessibility to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 with performance optimizations such as lazy loading images. It integrates Sentry for error monitoring and custom analytics scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing experience. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform.

The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding.
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.
