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

BlackBerry Limited's QNX division provides high-performance embedded software solutions including a secure Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), hypervisor, middleware, and safety-certified variants tailored for critical industries such as automotive, medical devices, industrial automation, and aerospace. The company holds a strong market position with over 255 million vehicles deployed globally and offers comprehensive professional services and training to support product lifecycles. The website reflects a mature B2B software licensing and services business model targeting OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers. Technically, the site is hosted on AWS with CloudFront CDN, uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS, and employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap and OneTrust for cookie consent. Security headers are well implemented, though the SSL/TLS configuration lacks support for modern protocols like TLS 1.2 or higher, which is a notable gap. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit terms of service and detailed security policy or incident response pages are not found. Overall, the site demonstrates excellent design, content quality, and trustworthiness, with moderate user tracking via Google Tag Manager.

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.

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

QNX operates as an essential technology entity within the embedded systems sector, focusing on transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy industries. Its competitive advantages include a long-standing reputation since 1980, extensive safety certifications (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, EN 5012X), and a broad partner ecosystem. The business model centers on software licensing combined with professional services and training, targeting OEMs and embedded system developers. The company leverages strategic partnerships and maintains a strong digital presence with resources for developers and partners. Growth indicators include new product releases and active participation in industry events. The website supports this with detailed product information, certifications, and support resources, reinforcing market leadership and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with multiple security headers such as HSTS, X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and a restrictive Content Security Policy. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a trusted CA, but the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher protocols is a significant security shortfall that could expose users to weaker encryption standards. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are present. DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured, which reduces domain security. The site uses a professional cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security policy and incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with room for improvement in encryption protocols and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to enhance encryption strength.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to improve domain security and certificate issuance control.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified security contact emails and phone numbers.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust technical infrastructure using Adobe Experience Manager CMS, hosted on AWS with CloudFront CDN for performance and scalability. It employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design and Lottie for interactive animations. The site is optimized for mobile with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading and caching. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics indicates a mature approach to privacy and data collection. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, lacking support for modern protocols, which poses a technical risk. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records suggests potential vulnerabilities in domain security. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-maintained but requires updates in security protocols to mitigate risks.
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.
