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

9 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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 Bull operates in the energy sector with a diversified business model that includes beverage production, event sponsorship, media content creation, and digital engagement. The company maintains a strong market position as a leader in energy drinks, leveraging its brand through sports and entertainment partnerships. The website supports this strategy by providing rich multimedia content and global reach, particularly targeting young adults and sports enthusiasts. The absence of explicit contact information in the analyzed content suggests that customer engagement may be handled through other channels or localized sites. The brand's extensive social media presence further supports its marketing and community-building efforts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses modern web technologies, indicating a good baseline security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for improvement. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are best practices for enterprise-level websites. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which may be due to privacy protection or query limitations, but the website itself appears legitimate and professionally maintained.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security contact information to foster transparency and proactive security management.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain registration trustworthiness and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end framework (StencilJS) and custom fonts hosted on their own CDN, indicating a well-maintained and optimized infrastructure. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, reflecting standard industry practice. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints for resource domains. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The technical stack supports a high-quality user experience but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and more visible privacy compliance features.
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.
