NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

AMETEK holds a strong market position as a large enterprise in manufacturing and technology sectors, offering specialized electronic and electromechanical solutions globally. Its diversified business model targets industrial clients and investors, supported by a robust online presence including investor relations and sustainability disclosures. The company operates multiple regional subsidiaries, indicating a broad international footprint. The website content and structure reflect a focus on innovation, safety, and corporate governance, aligning with industry best practices and stakeholder expectations. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract significantly from the company's established reputation. The business benefits from a comprehensive digital ecosystem with multi-language support and integrated marketing and analytics tools, facilitating global reach and customer engagement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests reliance on contact forms and regional sites for communication, which is common in large enterprises.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and implementation of cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. The use of anti-forgery tokens in forms indicates attention to secure data handling. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident communication. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern regarding domain registration transparency, which could be mitigated by verifying domain ownership through other means. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact emails (e.g., security@ametek.com) for incident reporting and inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Investigate and clarify the domain WHOIS data availability to improve domain registration transparency.

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.
