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

Progress Software is a well-established enterprise technology company specializing in AI-powered software solutions that enable businesses to develop, deploy, and manage applications efficiently. Their portfolio includes data platforms, digital experience management, infrastructure management, and DevOps automation products, positioning them as a comprehensive provider in the enterprise software market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive resources targeting enterprise customers and developers. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Sitefinity CMS, cloud-based CDNs, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism powered by OneTrust. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not readily found, which could be improved to enhance trust and security posture. The absence of WHOIS registration data is unusual but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the brand presence and external references. Overall, Progress Software's website demonstrates strong business credibility, technical sophistication, and a good security baseline. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear incident response contacts, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and improving transparency on data retention policies 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

4 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 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 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Progress Software operates in the enterprise technology sector with a focus on AI and software infrastructure solutions. Their business model is B2B, providing software products and services that address AI application development, data management, digital experience, infrastructure, and DevOps automation. The company holds a strong market position with multiple well-known subsidiaries such as Telerik, Chef, and Kemp Technologies, enhancing their product portfolio and market reach. Their target customers are enterprises and developers seeking scalable, secure, and AI-driven software solutions. The company maintains active investor relations and regularly publishes press releases and customer stories, indicating transparency and growth orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes dedicated portals and integrations with subsidiary brands, supporting a broad and collaborative business network.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The integration of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of explicit incident response contact details and vulnerability disclosure policies represents a gap in security transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The site’s SSL configuration is excellent, and security best practices are generally followed. To enhance security posture, the company should consider publishing dedicated security contact channels and a vulnerability disclosure program to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance transparency regarding data retention and processing policies.
  4. Maintain and regularly update security certifications and compliance frameworks.
  5. Continue monitoring WHOIS data and domain registration details for consistency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Sitefinity CMS, Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent indicates compliance with privacy regulations. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility features. The technical infrastructure supports a fast and reliable user experience. There is no indication of technical debt or legacy systems in the visible content. Opportunities for modernization include enhancing security transparency and expanding analytics with clear data retention policies. Technical risks are minimal but should be managed through continuous security assessments and updates.
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.
