0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

SSH Communications Security is a well-established cybersecurity company specializing in privileged access management, secure file transfers, SSH key management, and quantum-safe cryptography solutions. The company positions itself as the inventor of Secure Shell (SSH) technology and offers a comprehensive portfolio targeting enterprises, government agencies, and critical infrastructure sectors. Their market position is reinforced by strategic partnerships, such as with Leonardo, and recognized certifications including FIPS 140-3. The website content is professional, comprehensive, and clearly targeted at business and government customers seeking advanced cybersecurity solutions. Technically, the website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, multiple security headers, and secure form implementations with consent mechanisms. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and GDPR consent mechanisms. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available, which is unusual but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the company's strong external trust signals. Overall, SSH Communications Security presents a mature, professional, and secure online presence consistent with its business profile. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policy documentation, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file to further enhance transparency and trust.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 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.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. The presence of a vulnerability disclosure page indicates proactive security culture. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact details is a minor gap. The lack of a security.txt file is noted as an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is strong with low risk of web-based attacks or data leakage.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security frameworks and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by including company registration and legal information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (HubSpot) with integration of advanced marketing and analytics tools. The technical infrastructure supports fast loading times, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility standards. The use of multiple asynchronous scripts and external resources is well managed to optimize performance. The site employs modern fonts and CSS techniques for consistent branding. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to further enhance security posture by adding explicit security documentation and incident response mechanisms.
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.
