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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Red Gate Software holds a strong market position as a leader in database DevOps solutions, leveraging a broad product portfolio that addresses key challenges in database management and software delivery. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, large enterprise customer base, and recognized certifications. The company operates primarily in the technology sector with a global footprint, supported by multiple international offices. Revenue streams are likely driven by software licenses, subscriptions, and professional services. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized industry sites like SQL Server Central, enhancing their market reach. Growth indicators include active community engagement, frequent product launches, and industry reports. Strategic observations highlight a focus on innovation, compliance, and customer-centric solutions.

Security posture

Red Gate demonstrates a mature security posture with ISO 27001:2022 certification and HTTPS enforcement across their website. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with active consent mechanisms. The website does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided scripts. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate areas for enhancement. Incident response contact information is not clearly provided, which could impact rapid response to security events. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from increased transparency and formalized vulnerability management disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve communication during security events.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or verify domain registration details to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technology stack including jQuery, React, and Slick Carousel for UI components, alongside Google Tag Manager and Bizible for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the use of CDN domains suggests a distributed content delivery approach. Performance is fast with no visible errors or broken elements. Opportunities exist to improve technical security by adding missing HTTP security headers and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and scalable online presence aligned with business goals.
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.
