Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Alfa Laval operates as a global enterprise specializing in industrial solutions focused on heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling across sectors such as Energy, Food, Water, and Marine. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with relevant content targeting industrial customers. The business model is B2B, providing equipment, services, and connected solutions to enhance customer competitiveness and sustainability. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Launch for marketing, OneTrust for cookie consent, and is hosted behind Cloudflare CDN. However, the site suffers from a critical security shortfall due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which significantly impacts its security posture and trustworthiness. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms, but no explicit privacy or terms of service policies are found. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to meet modern standards.

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

19 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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Alfa Laval holds a strong market position as a leader in sustainable industrial solutions, serving multiple sectors with specialized equipment and services. The company emphasizes innovation and sustainability, as evidenced by their sustainability reports and industry-specific solutions. The website content and domain verifications indicate legitimate and well-established operations. The use of multiple third-party integrations for marketing and analytics suggests a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of visible contact information and formal policies on the homepage may limit direct customer engagement. The company appears to maintain a global footprint with enterprise scale, though specific founding year and parent company details are not disclosed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security hygiene with appropriate security headers and cookie flags. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The lack of HSTS enforcement and OCSP stapling further weakens the security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security governance and transparency. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the site must prioritize SSL/TLS remediation to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to enhance encryption strength.
  3. Implement and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Add explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage to improve compliance and transparency.
  5. Publish security and incident response policies, including vulnerability disclosure and contact channels, to build trust and readiness.
  6. Improve accessibility features and conduct performance optimizations to enhance user experience.
  7. Consider adding visible and verified contact information to facilitate customer support and engagement.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of Adobe Launch for tag management. The CMS appears to be Episerver, inferred from script paths and naming conventions. Hosting is via Cloudflare CDN, providing performance and security benefits. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is invalid, with no active protocols or cipher suites detected, which is a critical technical debt. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating potential monitoring gaps. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints for external resources. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues and improved monitoring.
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.
