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

Quest Software is a well-established enterprise technology company specializing in AI data platforms, cybersecurity, and platform modernization solutions. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content targeting enterprise IT professionals. The company offers a range of IT management and cybersecurity services designed to help organizations securely manage and innovate with their data. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 11, employs modern web technologies, and integrates industry-standard analytics and consent management tools, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and incident response contacts clearly provided, although a dedicated security policy page and vulnerability disclosure policy could enhance transparency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts transparency but not overall legitimacy.

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. 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

  2. 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

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

Quest Software holds a strong market position in the technology sector, focusing on enterprise IT management and cybersecurity. Their business model is B2B software solutions, serving large enterprises globally. The company leverages partnerships and a comprehensive product portfolio to maintain competitive advantages. Their website supports multiple languages and includes partner and support portals, indicating a broad ecosystem and customer base. The presence of ISO 27001 certification and incident response services further strengthens their market credibility. Growth indicators include active content updates, blogs, and customer stories. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in AI and cybersecurity as key growth drivers.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Quest Software's website is high, with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. Incident response contact information is publicly available, and the company holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating adherence to recognized security standards. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is a gap in transparency and community engagement. Data protection officer contact is provided, supporting compliance efforts. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and trust but could benefit from enhanced public security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to engage security researchers.
  3. Enhance clarity on data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase visibility of data protection officer contact details and compliance certifications on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and secure CMS platform, with integration of Bootstrap Icons for UI elements and Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, contributing to excellent user experience. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and third-party integrations. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing maintenance of third-party scripts and CMS updates is recommended to avoid technical debt.
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.
