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

8 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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 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';…

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 targets industrial and mobile application sectors requiring secure radio control solutions. Their business model is B2B manufacturing and service provision, with revenue streams from product sales, customizations, connected services, and after-sales support. The presence of a parent company (Allgon) and a global partner network supports growth and market reach. The website's detailed product and service descriptions, along with customer references and certifications, indicate a competitive advantage in quality and customization. The company demonstrates strategic focus on innovation, sustainability, and safety, positioning itself as a trusted industry leader.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, no visible sensitive data exposure, and use of security plugins to prevent user enumeration. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, supporting privacy and data protection. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses popular libraries and services such as jQuery, Swiper.js for carousels, AOS for animations, and Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics/tracking are implemented through Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and CDN usage for some assets. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation could be improved to reduce risk.
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.
