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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

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

Aksa Akrilik operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on acrylic fiber production with a large-scale capacity. The company benefits from a strong brand reputation, supported by multiple ISO certifications and sustainability awards. Its business model centers on manufacturing and selling high-quality synthetic fibers to textile and industrial clients. The website reflects a mature digital presence with investor relations transparency and sustainability reporting, indicating a commitment to corporate governance and stakeholder engagement. Partnerships such as with Akkok reinforce its ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous awards and high corporate governance ratings, positioning Aksa as a market leader in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status flags protect against unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism may expose the company to privacy compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be improved by adopting best practices and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring responsive design and interactive elements. Hosting is supported by Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable and scalable backend support. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and Wonderchat for customer engagement. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, typical for enterprise manufacturing sites. Technical debt is minimal based on the current snapshot, but improvements in security headers and privacy mechanisms are recommended to reduce risk and enhance compliance.
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.
