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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

Zendesk operates in the technology sector with a SaaS business model focused on customer service software. It targets enterprises and SMBs across multiple industries including retail, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government. The company emphasizes AI integration through products like AI Agents and Copilot, positioning itself as an innovator in customer experience management. The multilingual website and extensive product suite indicate a global market reach and a strong competitive position. Zendesk's ecosystem includes integrations and a marketplace, supporting workflow improvements and employee service solutions. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms and support centers.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, and X-XSS-Protection headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The use of modern authentication libraries and analytics scripts is noted, with cookie consent mechanisms partially implemented. However, the lack of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies represents a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and trust center resources. Overall, Zendesk maintains a mature security posture suitable for enterprise customers but could improve transparency around security incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  2. Implement and clearly link a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance cookie policy visibility and ensure explicit user consent mechanisms are clear and accessible.
  4. Add a dedicated terms of service page to improve legal transparency and user trust.
  5. Continue regular security audits and update security headers to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, leveraging Cloudflare and AWS Cloudfront for hosting and CDN services. It uses Google Tag Manager, Adobe Web SDK, and Microsoft Authentication Library for analytics and authentication. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO and accessibility features. The use of preconnect and dns-prefetch hints indicates attention to performance optimization. No technical debt or outdated technologies were detected in the provided content. The infrastructure supports a scalable and secure platform suitable for enterprise-grade SaaS delivery.
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.
