Security report for pulsesecure.net
Ivanti · Technology · United States
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.
Ivanti, a leading enterprise software company, acquired Pulse Secure in 2020 and continues to offer secure network access and endpoint management solutions under the Ivanti brand. The website clearly communicates this transition and provides comprehensive information about products, solutions, and support services targeting enterprise customers seeking secure access and IT management capabilities. The technical infrastructure leverages modern analytics and telemetry tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Application Insights, combined with a robust cookie consent mechanism powered by OneTrust, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, privacy compliance, and clear incident response contacts, although explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms could be enhanced. Overall, the website demonstrates a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital asset aligned with Ivanti's enterprise market position.

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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
GDPR outside view
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
- Critical
No HTTPS encryption
GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
- CWE-319
- OWASP A04:2025
- ASVS V12.2.1
- NIS2 21(2)(h)
- IR 2024/2690 9.2(a): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(a): Cryptography
- GDPR Art. 32(1)(a)
- NIST SC-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-8: Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity
- Critical
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
No HTTPS Encryption
Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
- CWE-319
- OWASP A04:2025
- ASVS V12.2.1
- NIS2 21(2)(h)
- IR 2024/2690 9.2(a): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(a): Cryptography
- GDPR Art. 32(1)(a)
- NIST SC-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-8: Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity
- Critical
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
- CWE-1021
- OWASP A06:2025
- CAPEC-103
- ASVS V3.4.6
- OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends X-Frame-Options: deny
- RFC 7034
- High

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.

Recommendations
- Implement and explicitly publish comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance browser security.
- Publish a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
- Clarify and publish data retention policies related to analytics and telemetry data to strengthen privacy compliance.
- Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve accessibility and trust.
- Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes
Notes
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.
