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 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.acquia.com points to unregistered service mc-22549-1974247437.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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

Acquia is positioned as an enterprise technology provider specializing in digital experience platforms and digital asset management. The business model is B2B SaaS with a strong community engagement component. The company leverages partnerships with Salesforce and major payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Adyen, indicating a robust ecosystem. The target market includes enterprises requiring cloud-based digital asset management and marketing solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, supporting Acquia's market position as a leader in its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy, and integration of bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. Use of trusted third-party services for payments and analytics is evident. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly visible, which could be improved to increase transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add additional security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  4. Publish security policy and incident response procedures to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Salesforce Experience Cloud using Lightning Web Components and Salesforce Lightning Design System, ensuring a modern and scalable framework. Integration with multiple payment gateways and analytics platforms indicates a complex and well-managed technical infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses a strict Content-Security-Policy and HTTPS, reflecting good security hygiene. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. Hosting appears to be on Salesforce and AWS infrastructure, providing reliability and scalability. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility compliance and add more comprehensive SEO metadata.
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.
