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 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 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

Red Bull maintains a leading market position in the energy drink sector, supported by extensive media content and event sponsorships. Their business model integrates product sales with content marketing and event management, targeting active and youthful demographics globally. The company has a broad partnership ecosystem including e-commerce, media distribution, and sports teams. Growth indicators include frequent event updates and diverse content offerings. The website supports multiple locales, indicating a global outreach strategy. Strategic observations highlight Red Bull's focus on brand experience and community engagement through digital channels.

Security posture

The current security posture is solid with essential HTTP security headers and a valid SSL certificate issued by a reputable CA. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and lack of HSTS implementation reduce the overall security effectiveness. DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured, which could expose the domain to certain DNS-based attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The security culture appears focused on standard best practices but could benefit from enhanced protocol support and documented security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure communications.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Configure DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and certificate issuance control.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance and transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Stencil.js for web components, Cloudinary for image hosting, and Akamai as a CDN provider. The site is optimized for mobile with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading. Accessibility features are present with skip links and semantic HTML. The CMS appears custom-built with API-driven content delivery. Technical risks include lack of modern TLS support and missing DNS security configurations, which could impact secure operations. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve documentation of security practices.
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.
