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 operates in the technology sector with a focus on enterprise open source solutions. Their business model revolves around software subscriptions, support, consulting, and training services. The company targets large enterprises requiring hybrid cloud and AI capabilities. Red Hat's market position is reinforced by its inclusion in the S&P 500 and extensive global footprint. The ecosystem includes partner catalogs and developer resources, supporting a collaborative open source community. The website content and structure emphasize innovation, reliability, and customer success, aligning with their strategic goals of expanding hybrid cloud adoption and AI integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of nonce-based Content Security Policy, and integration of consent management for privacy compliance. Login and account management utilize OpenID Connect with SSO, enhancing authentication security. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found, representing potential gaps in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content or scripts. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing dedicated security documentation and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance contact information with explicit security and abuse contact emails or forms.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components.
  5. Maintain and communicate clear data retention and privacy policies aligned with GDPR and other regulations.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience with room for enhanced security documentation.
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.
