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

Acquia operates a community platform hosted on Salesforce Experience Cloud, focusing on digital asset management and customer engagement. The site leverages multiple modern payment and analytics technologies, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The platform is well-integrated with trusted third-party services such as Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Google Analytics, and Mixpanel, supporting a robust e-commerce and community experience. Security is well addressed with HTTPS and a strict Content-Security-Policy, although additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet regulatory requirements. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for Acquia's community services.

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. 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

  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 company specializing in digital experience and asset management solutions. The community site targets developers, marketers, and digital asset managers, supporting B2B SaaS business models. The integration with Salesforce and multiple payment gateways suggests a strong partnership ecosystem and a focus on seamless customer experience. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies on the community site may indicate reliance on the main corporate site for such details. The company likely benefits from a large enterprise footprint with consistent branding and professional content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy restricting resource loading to trusted domains. The use of Salesforce's embedded services and secure payment integrations further strengthens security. However, the absence of additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance gaps, especially missing privacy and cookie policies, present compliance risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available on the site, which could hinder transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy on the community site to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement additional security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing security policies and incident response contacts to increase transparency and user confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Salesforce Experience Cloud using Lightning Web Components and SLDS for UI consistency. It integrates multiple third-party services for payments (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen) and analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel). The hosting infrastructure appears to be Salesforce and AWS-based, providing scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and structured data for the website. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for improved user experience. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and performance further by optimizing scripts and improving compliance with accessibility standards.
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.
