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

Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH is a well-established German technology company founded in 2004, specializing in open-source server solutions including virtualization, backup, and email security platforms. Their market position is strong within the enterprise and IT professional segments, offering both free open-source software and paid enterprise support, training, and consulting services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern frameworks like Bootstrap 5 and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and a robust cookie consent mechanism, though some advanced security headers and explicit security policies are not present. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, showing a long-standing registration and no privacy protection, which supports legitimacy. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, Proxmox demonstrates a trustworthy, professional, and secure online presence suitable for enterprise customers. Strategic improvements in security transparency and DNSSEC implementation could further enhance their posture.

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

2 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.

    • 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

Business profile

Proxmox operates a hybrid open-source and enterprise business model, leveraging community contributions and paid support services. Their competitive advantage lies in offering comprehensive virtualization and backup solutions with strong community engagement and enterprise-grade reliability. Revenue streams include support subscriptions, training courses, and consulting. The partnership ecosystem is well-developed, with official partner and reseller programs. The company targets medium to large enterprises and data centers globally, with a focus on technology sectors. Growth indicators include active community forums, frequent product updates, and a professional online presence.

Security posture

Proxmox exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, cookie consent aligned with GDPR, and use of privacy-respecting analytics. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the proxmox.com domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Consider publishing data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 5 and FontAwesome for UI components, ensuring a modern and responsive design. Matomo analytics is deployed with Do Not Track respect, indicating privacy-conscious data collection. The site loads quickly and is well-structured with semantic HTML and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers are minor technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and user-friendly experience with opportunities for security hardening.
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.
