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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 primarily in the energy and manufacturing sectors, focusing on HVAC product manufacturing and distribution. It maintains partnerships with regional distributors and is part of the Giordano Riello International Group. The business model centers on product sales, technical support, and training services. The website's detailed contact information and regional segmentation indicate a strong customer service orientation. The presence of social media channels supports brand engagement. The company targets HVAC professionals and large-scale clients, positioning itself as a market leader in terminal units.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests potential improvements. No security.txt or incident response information is provided, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses obfuscation for email addresses to reduce spam. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security headers to enhance protection against XSS and protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Include explicit contact information for data protection officer or privacy inquiries to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix3 template framework, with front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Font Awesome. It integrates BreezingForms for contact forms with client-side validation and CAPTCHA. The site loads external resources such as Google Fonts and uses a slideshow plugin for banners. Performance is moderate with responsive design considerations for mobile devices. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance optimizations. Hosting details are not explicit but the registrar is a known French provider. SEO and metadata are adequately implemented with relevant keywords and descriptions.
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.
