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

Anel Arabian company is a Saudi-based business specializing in information and communication technologies and electromechanical technology services. Established in 2010, it positions itself as a leader in the Saudi market with a focus on leveraging local talent to meet customer needs. The website content is bilingual, targeting Arabic and English-speaking audiences, and is hosted on the Weebly platform with basic design and navigation features. However, the site lacks critical contact information and formal policies, which limits user trust and engagement. Technically, the website runs on an nginx server with jQuery and Weebly's platform scripts. Hosting is provided by Hostmonster. The site suffers from poor performance metrics, no mobile optimization beyond basic, and minimal SEO and accessibility features. Importantly, the site does not have a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which severely impacts security and user trust. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS, lack of security headers, and missing compliance policies such as privacy and cookie policies indicate a low security maturity level. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Analytics tools like Google Analytics and Snowplow are used, but no cookie consent mechanism is implemented, raising privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the website presents a basic online presence for the company but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and user engagement features to enhance trustworthiness and professionalism.

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

12 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: 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

Anel Arabian company operates in the technology sector, focusing on ICT and electromechanical services within Saudi Arabia. Its business model centers on service provision with a local talent base, aiming to build lasting customer relationships. The company has a history dating back to 2010, initially partnered with a Turkish company and later becoming fully Saudi-owned. The website reflects a small-sized enterprise with limited digital maturity. There is no evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies. The lack of detailed contact information and formal policies suggests a modest operational scale and limited digital marketing efforts. The company uses Hostmonster for hosting and Weebly for website management, indicating reliance on third-party platforms rather than custom infrastructure.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. The server supports no TLS protocols, and no HSTS is enabled to enforce secure connections. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and no security certifications are mentioned. The use of outdated jQuery version 1.8.3 may introduce additional risks. Privacy compliance is poor, with no cookie consent or privacy policy, which could lead to regulatory issues. Overall, the site requires urgent security upgrades to protect users and comply with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR compliance measures.
  4. Add clear and accessible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  5. Upgrade all third-party libraries and scripts to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an nginx server and built using the Weebly platform, leveraging jQuery 1.8.3 and various Weebly-hosted CSS and JS assets. The DNS is managed via Hostmonster nameservers, and the domain resolves to a single IPv4 address. The site lacks modern TLS support and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable but inferred to be slow due to lack of optimization and heavy reliance on external scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO is limited to basic meta tags and Open Graph properties without structured data like JSON-LD. The site uses Google Analytics and Snowplow for tracking but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical implementation is outdated and requires modernization to meet current web standards and security requirements.
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.
