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. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

The company operates a B2B business model focusing on software sales, consultancy, training, and R&D services in the turbomachinery sector. Their competitive advantage lies in proprietary 3D Inverse Design technology and integration of physics-enhanced machine learning. The presence of case studies, webinars, and customer logos indicates active engagement with industry clients and academia. The marketing ecosystem is robust with HubSpot tools supporting lead generation and customer interaction. The company appears small but specialized, serving a global engineering audience. No parent or subsidiary relationships are evident. The website content and structure support a high level of professionalism and market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure HubSpot forms, minimizing risks of data interception or injection attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response information is found, which could be improved for transparency and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, Slick Carousel, and HubSpot's marketing and analytics scripts. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD VideoObject). Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The technical stack is modern and well integrated with marketing automation. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site architecture supports a rich user experience with multimedia content and interactive forms.
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.
