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.

Priority findings

7 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

    • 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

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

Algeco's market positioning as an international leader in modular construction is supported by its extensive product range and service offerings, including turnkey modular buildings and on-site installation. The business model focuses on B2B clients requiring flexible, sustainable, and rapid space solutions. The company leverages a broad partnership ecosystem across multiple countries, enhancing its reach and operational capabilities. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on customer engagement through detailed product information, success cases, and direct contact channels. Growth indicators include active marketing via HubSpot and social media integration. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and potential modernization of technical components to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent compliance. Security best practices such as CAPTCHA on forms and controlled data collection are implemented. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery library introduces potential vulnerabilities, and the lack of a published security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and incident response readiness. No critical security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business context but would benefit from updates to third-party libraries and formalized vulnerability management processes.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting channels.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of embedded third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize risk exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7.67 with Bootstrap for responsive design and uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.10.2, Colorbox, and Selectric. Marketing and analytics integrations include HubSpot forms and tracking, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources from its own domain and trusted external sources like Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially considering the use of older jQuery versions. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks include legacy dependencies and lack of explicit security headers. Modernization opportunities include upgrading the CMS version, libraries, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
