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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

ALPLA operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on plastic packaging solutions with a global footprint spanning 46 countries and 200 locations. Its business model centers on innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric packaging solutions. The company targets industrial clients requiring advanced packaging systems and emphasizes environmental responsibility. The presence of multiple subdomains for sustainability, careers, and product catalogues indicates a diversified digital strategy supporting various business functions. Partnerships such as the supplier portal indicate a robust ecosystem. The company’s disclosures on modern slavery, tax strategy, and gender pay reporting reflect compliance and corporate governance maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating adherence to privacy regulations. Use of reputable analytics and marketing tools is evident, with asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement. No direct contact emails or phone numbers for security or abuse reporting were found, which could hinder incident handling. The WHOIS data is missing, possibly due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add security-related HTTP headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide explicit security contact channels (e.g., security@alpla.com) for vulnerability reporting and incident communication.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Review WHOIS registration details to ensure transparency and alignment with corporate identity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. It uses Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Fathom Analytics for tracking and user behavior analysis, indicating a mature analytics setup. The presence of Microsoft Dynamics Marketing Forms shows integration with enterprise marketing automation. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized media. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve incident response infrastructure.
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.
