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

Verizon is a leading telecommunications company in the United States offering a broad range of services including wireless mobile plans, home internet solutions such as Fios and 5G, TV, and phone services. The website reflects a mature, enterprise-level digital presence with a focus on consumer and business customers. The company maintains a strong market position with extensive network coverage and brand recognition. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager with modern analytics and consent management tools, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience across devices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and secure sign-in portals, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to registry privacy policies and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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

    • 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

  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

Verizon operates in the telecommunications sector with a business model centered on providing wireless, internet, and media services to a wide customer base including consumers and businesses. The company leverages its extensive network infrastructure and brand strength to maintain a competitive advantage. Revenue streams include mobile plans, device sales, home internet subscriptions, and value-added services. The website's content and navigation cater to diverse customer segments, highlighting deals, device offerings, and support resources. Partnerships and related domains support business operations and customer engagement. Growth indicators include promotion of new technologies like 5G and bundled service offerings. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital experience and customer retention through personalized offers and comprehensive support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and integration of consent management platforms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms is evident, supporting data protection practices. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced communication of security governance and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance incident response transparency to build customer trust and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust technical infrastructure using Adobe Experience Manager CMS, supported by modern JavaScript frameworks and analytics tools such as Quantum Metric and Adobe Analytics. The site is optimized for mobile and desktop platforms with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with preloading of critical CSS and fonts to improve load times. The use of multiple preconnect and preload directives indicates attention to resource loading optimization. However, hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack supports a scalable and maintainable digital presence, though continuous performance monitoring and optimization are recommended to maintain user experience.
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.
