Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

AAF Europe, operating under the American Air Filters brand, provides specialized air filtration solutions, including analysis, optimization, and monitoring services aimed at helping organizations improve efficiency and reduce costs. The company appears to be an established player in the energy sector with a business model focused on B2B solutions. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap 4.4.1, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity and a responsive design. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, suggests gaps in compliance and security transparency. The domain is long-standing and registered with Network Solutions, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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

2 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

  2. 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

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

AAF Europe targets organizations requiring air filtration solutions, positioning itself as a medium-sized enterprise within the energy sector. The company leverages its parent brand, American Air Filters, to establish market trust. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on providing technical solutions and monitoring to optimize air filtration systems. The website content is relevant and well-structured, though lacking in explicit contact and compliance information. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data. The company could improve its market presence by adding more transparent business and compliance details.

Security posture

The website currently lacks visible security headers and does not implement DNSSEC, which are areas for improvement. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including contact channels like security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS and Bootstrap 4.4.1, indicating a modern but not cutting-edge technology stack. The HTML content is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO, including Open Graph tags for social media sharing. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading or errors. Mobile optimization is good due to responsive Bootstrap design. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting details are limited to registrar information, with no explicit hosting provider or CDN detected. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modern security and privacy enhancements.
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.
