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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The company holds a strong market position as a European technology leader in etching technology, leveraging over 40 years of experience. Their business model focuses on B2B manufacturing services with a broad sector reach including automotive, electronics, medical, aerospace, optics, and design industries. Key competitive advantages include rapid production capabilities (Speedline), a large material inventory, and advanced etching and laser technologies. The company maintains an active social media presence and provides detailed service and industry information, supporting growth and customer engagement. Partnerships such as with Herz Lasertechnik indicate a complementary ecosystem. The website content and structure support clear communication of their value proposition and service offerings.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no exposed sensitive data. Use of security plugins like Borlabs Cookie enhances privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident and should be implemented to harden security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could benefit from additional security best practices and documentation.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a security policy or incident response page with contact information for reporting vulnerabilities or incidents.
Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize risk from known vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible security reporting.

The technical stack is modern and well maintained, supporting a professional online presence with room for security and performance 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.
