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

Puppet, a Perforce company, is a leading provider of infrastructure automation software designed to empower DevOps teams and enterprises to automate, manage, and secure their IT infrastructure across hybrid environments. The company offers a comprehensive platform including Puppet Enterprise, Puppet Core, and integrations, supported by professional services and training. The website reflects a mature enterprise with strong branding, clear navigation, and a focus on security and compliance. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, employs modern JavaScript libraries, and integrates consent management tools to ensure privacy compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is unusual but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the strong external trust signals and parent company association. Overall, Puppet's digital presence is professional, secure, and well-optimized, supporting its market position as a leader in infrastructure automation.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 63 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033

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

Puppet operates in the technology sector, targeting enterprise customers needing scalable infrastructure automation solutions. Its business model combines software licensing with professional services and training, supported by a robust partner ecosystem linked to Perforce. The company leverages a strong brand and comprehensive content strategy to engage DevOps professionals and IT operations teams. The website's integration with Perforce domains and customer portals indicates a cohesive corporate structure. Growth indicators include active resource publishing, events, and AI-powered DevOps initiatives. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not undermine the company's established market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks publicly accessible detailed security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure programs, which are important for transparency and trust in enterprise environments. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses third-party scripts responsibly but should consider publishing explicit security contacts and a security.txt file to enhance incident response readiness and community trust. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct security incident contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ addresses.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on certifications and compliance attestations to strengthen trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Photoswipe for galleries and AddToAny for social sharing. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise software company.
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.
