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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

u-blox operates as an essential technology entity with a focus on positioning and wireless communication solutions. Its market positioning as a global leader is supported by a diverse product range and services targeting automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. The business model revolves around product sales, IoT service delivery, and software tools. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and investor relations presence, indicating financial stability and growth potential. The website's comprehensive content and clear navigation support effective customer engagement and brand trust. The company targets a specialized audience including OEMs, IoT developers, and industrial clients, leveraging its expertise in GNSS and wireless technologies. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel primarily via contact forms, which aligns with enterprise business practices.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is solid with mandatory HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The presence of a dedicated security management page indicates organizational awareness of security practices. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or abuse contact information was found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern frameworks and static site generation reduces attack surface. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and clearer incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance user trust by including verified contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack centered around Gatsby and React, enabling fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Hosting on Netlify provides scalability and performance benefits. SEO is well addressed through comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and landmarks. The site uses Google Tag Manager and HubSpot forms for analytics and marketing, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and incident response mechanisms to align with best practices.
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.
