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

ALFATEX Spółka z o.o. is a specialized manufacturer of industrial machinery for the textile sector with over 25 years of experience. The company offers a range of machines for furniture, stuffed animals, pillows, bedding, recycling, and children's products. Their market position is supported by certifications, warranty offerings, and a physical showroom allowing customers to test machines before purchase. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets industrial clients primarily in Poland and German-speaking markets. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and AOS for animations, with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is hosted on OVH servers and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO and accessibility are basic but adequate for the business needs. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible HTTP security headers and a dedicated security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie banner present, indicating GDPR awareness. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with clear business information and contact details. The risk level is low, but improvements in security headers and incident response documentation are recommended to enhance security maturity.

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

11 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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

ALFATEX operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on textile machinery. Their competitive advantage lies in their 25 years of industry experience, certified products, and customer-centric services including warranties and live demonstrations. The business model is B2B manufacturing and sales. Revenue streams likely come from machine sales and after-sales services. Target customers are industrial textile manufacturers across multiple European countries, supported by sister sites in various languages. Growth indicators include multilingual presence and active social media channels. The partnership ecosystem includes a web design agency (Dpl Agency) and hosting via OVH. Strategic observations suggest a stable small-sized company with a niche market focus and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible forms on the main page reduce attack surface, but the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and jQuery requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small manufacturing business website but can be improved with standard security headers and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but straightforward technology stack centered on jQuery and associated plugins for UI components and animations. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is hosted on OVH, a reputable hosting provider. Performance is moderate with responsive design ensuring good mobile experience. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site build. Technical risks are low but could be improved by adopting modern frameworks and enhancing SEO and accessibility 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.
