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

Verkada is a leading enterprise technology company specializing in modern, cloud-managed physical security systems. Their integrated platform combines video surveillance, access control, alarms, environmental sensors, intercoms, and visitor management into a single cloud-based solution. Trusted by over 33,000 organizations, Verkada targets enterprises and organizations seeking scalable, easy-to-use security solutions. The company emphasizes AI-powered analytics and seamless integration across devices and locations. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks, Wistia for video hosting, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies in place. Security best practices are evident, including HTTPS enforcement, SOC 2 type 2 compliance, and strong encryption standards. The security posture is robust with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of public incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness but does not outweigh the professional presentation and trust signals on the site. Overall, Verkada presents a mature, secure, and professional digital presence aligned with its market position as a top cloud physical security provider. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around incident response and vulnerability disclosures to further strengthen trust and compliance.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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. 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"

  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 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

Verkada operates in the technology sector, focusing on cloud-based physical security solutions for enterprises. Their business model combines hardware sales with SaaS subscriptions for cloud management. The company has a strong market position with a large customer base and a growing partner ecosystem. Competitive advantages include integrated AI analytics, ease of installation, and scalability. Revenue streams likely include device sales, software licenses, and professional services. Target customers are large organizations requiring comprehensive security management. Growth indicators include frequent product updates, webinars, and extensive customer testimonials. The partner program supports reseller growth, indicating a broad channel strategy.

Security posture

Verkada demonstrates a high level of security maturity with SOC 2 type 2 certification, encryption at rest and in transit, and integration with MFA, SSO, and SAML. The website enforces HTTPS and employs security headers to protect users. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a public incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy is a gap in transparency and readiness. Data protection practices appear strong, but explicit data retention policies are not publicly detailed. Overall, the security culture is proactive but could benefit from enhanced communication on incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance transparency on data retention and privacy practices to improve compliance.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.
  5. Consider obtaining additional certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen market trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern, performant tech stack with Hugo for static site generation, ensuring fast load times and scalability. Use of CDNs like Cloudinary and Wistia optimizes media delivery. Google Tag Manager facilitates analytics and marketing integrations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Technical debt appears low with no broken elements or errors detected. Opportunities exist to further enhance accessibility features and expand automation for SEO and compliance monitoring. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely leverage cloud infrastructure for reliability.
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.
