Routledge · Education · United Kingdom
Medium risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.
Routledge is a leading academic and professional book publisher, operating under the Taylor & Francis Group. The website serves scholars, instructors, and professionals by providing access to a wide range of academic and professional publications. The company holds a strong market position in the education and publishing sectors, with a business model focused on content creation, distribution, and e-commerce. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools to enhance user engagement and business intelligence. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for privacy compliance. Hosting and security are reinforced by Cloudflare services, including Turnstile captcha for bot mitigation. The site demonstrates good performance, SEO, and basic accessibility features, although there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security policy disclosures. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers such as CSP and X-Frame-Options. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR adherence. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. Overall, Routledge's website reflects a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and security posture. The lack of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection and does not detract from the legitimacy of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing accessibility to further strengthen the site’s trustworthiness and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
