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

Adaptive3D is a specialized additive manufacturing company focused on developing and supplying advanced elastomeric 3D printing resins. Positioned as a leader in the additive manufacturing polymer resin sector, Adaptive3D offers proprietary photopolymer materials designed to meet the demanding mechanical properties required for functional prototypes and end-use products. The company operates as a subsidiary or brand under Desktop Metal, leveraging a strong partnership ecosystem and a medium-sized business model targeting industrial clients and product developers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates industry-standard analytics and tag management tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe DTM. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and mobile optimization, though accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. From a security and compliance perspective, the site does not expose sensitive data and uses secure forms, but it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which may impact GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, which is typical for subdomains, and the domain is consistent with the parent Desktop Metal brand, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Adaptive3D’s digital presence reflects a professional and trustworthy business with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Adaptive3D occupies a strong niche in the additive manufacturing industry, focusing on elastomeric photopolymer resins that address longstanding material limitations in 3D printing. Their business model centers on B2B partnerships and high-volume production solutions, supported by a skilled team of engineers and chemists. The company benefits from association with Desktop Metal and a broad partner network, enhancing market reach and credibility. Revenue streams likely include resin sales, custom material development, and consulting services. The target customers are industrial manufacturers, product designers, and additive manufacturing service providers. Growth indicators include active partnerships, a comprehensive product portfolio, and a professional web presence. The company’s operations suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on innovation and market leadership in elastomeric additive manufacturing materials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are evident, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts and analytics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a corporate site but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a visible incident response policy and security contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe DTM for analytics and tag management, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization but could benefit from further accessibility improvements. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security audits to mitigate vulnerabilities.
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.
