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.

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 Hat's business model focuses on delivering open source software solutions and services to enterprise customers worldwide. Their offerings include AI platforms, hybrid cloud solutions, automation tools, and extensive training and consulting services. The company targets IT professionals and enterprises seeking scalable, secure, and flexible technology stacks. Red Hat maintains a robust partner ecosystem and provides extensive resources such as documentation, training, and developer tools. The website's content and linked domains reinforce its position as a trusted technology provider with a global footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and integration of consent management tools compliant with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness communication. The use of OIDC for authentication indicates modern identity management practices. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced disclosure of security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  3. Include data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user trust by showcasing certifications and compliance badges prominently.

It employs a responsive design with strong mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is optimized with preconnect hints and asynchronous script loading.

The infrastructure appears robust and scalable, suitable for enterprise-grade digital presence.
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.
