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

Recorded Future is a leading cybersecurity company specializing in real-time, actionable cyber threat intelligence. Their platform enables organizations to mitigate cyber risks, prioritize threats, and proactively secure their business environments. The company targets security professionals, enterprises, and governments, positioning itself as a trusted partner in defending critical infrastructure worldwide. Their offerings include autonomous threat operations, expert insights, and research reports, supported by a strong brand presence and global events such as Predict Europe. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript modules and responsive image techniques, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. While the site is well-designed and mobile-optimized, there is limited evidence of advanced frameworks or CMS usage. SEO practices appear adequate, but accessibility features are basic. The absence of visible security headers and explicit SSL configuration details suggests room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts privacy compliance scores. The WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and branding strongly support legitimacy. No forms or contact details are exposed, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement channels. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical safeguards. The overall risk assessment indicates a generally trustworthy and professional website with minor gaps in privacy and security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers and SSL configurations, and improving domain registration transparency to bolster trust and compliance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Recorded Future operates in the cybersecurity technology sector, focusing on threat intelligence solutions delivered via a SaaS platform. Their market position is strong, serving enterprise and government clients globally. The business model revolves around subscription-based access to intelligence data and analytics, supplemented by expert research and events. Competitive advantages include autonomous threat operations and a deep intelligence heritage. The company’s ecosystem includes specialized research publications and a flagship event, Predict Europe, which fosters community engagement and brand loyalty.

Partnerships and subsidiary relationships are not explicitly identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is moderate. Key strengths include the use of HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs), modern JavaScript modules, and absence of exposed sensitive data or forms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, impacting GDPR and general privacy compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, limiting transparency. The missing WHOIS data for domain registration is a concern for trust and legitimacy verification. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Ensure SSL/TLS configuration is robust and enforce HTTPS site-wide with HSTS headers.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Improve domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and publicly accessible or justified by privacy protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies including JavaScript ES modules and responsive images with WebP and PNG formats, indicating a contemporary approach to web development. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality and clear navigation. However, no specific CMS or backend platform is identified. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of advanced optimization or CDN usage. Accessibility features are basic, suggesting opportunities for improvement to meet WCAG standards. The absence of security headers and privacy-related metadata indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
