Sourcegraph is a well-established enterprise technology company founded in 2012, specializing in AI-driven software development lifecycle tools. Their platform automates routine development tasks using AI agents and provides advanced code search, batch changes, and insights to accelerate engineering teams' productivity. The company is trusted by major enterprises including top US banks, government agencies, and leading tech firms, positioning it as a leader in the developer tools market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent content quality, professional design, and clear navigation tailored for enterprise audiences. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, React components, and multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and HubSpot. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare and NameCheap respectively, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with strong SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses secure cookies with appropriate SameSite policies, and maintains a clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers. The presence of an ISO 27001 certification and compliance with GDPR and CCPA regulations are strong indicators of a mature security posture. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and explicit incident response contacts are not publicly listed, representing areas for improvement. Overall, Sourcegraph's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security, and compliance suitable for its enterprise clientele. The risk profile is low with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit security headers and incident response contacts, and implementing a cookie consent mechanism to enhance privacy compliance.

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

5 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Sourcegraph operates in the technology sector, focusing on AI-powered software development tools that serve enterprise engineering teams. Their business model centers on providing a SaaS platform with AI coding assistants, code search, batch changes, and analytics. The company targets large enterprises, including financial institutions, government agencies, and major technology companies, leveraging trust signals such as ISO 27001 certification and customer testimonials from Booking.com, Coinbase, and others. The partnership with Ampcode.com indicates an ecosystem approach to expanding AI-driven development capabilities. Sourcegraph's market position is strong, with a decade-long domain history and a comprehensive digital presence supporting growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

Sourcegraph exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure cookie practices, and ISO 27001 certification. The website links to a dedicated security portal, indicating transparency and commitment to security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit incident response contact information are minor gaps. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity aligns well with enterprise expectations, but improvements in DNS security and incident response transparency are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@sourcegraph.com) on the website.
  4. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS with React-based components and integrates modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI elements. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, Clearbit, and HockeyStack, indicating a sophisticated data collection and user engagement strategy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers would further strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
