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

Schneider Electric is a global leader in energy management and automation solutions, offering a broad range of products including the APC branded offers featured on this website. The company targets business customers requiring reliable and connected energy solutions. The website demonstrates a mature technical infrastructure leveraging modern web technologies such as SystemJS, Web Components, and cloud-based CDNs, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of sanitization libraries, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not visible on this page. Privacy compliance is limited on this page, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which should be addressed to improve user trust and regulatory adherence. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but the absence of WHOIS data and registrant information is unusual and warrants further verification.

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

8 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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Schneider Electric operates in the energy sector with a strong global presence and enterprise scale. Their business model focuses on providing energy management and automation solutions to industrial, commercial, and residential customers. The APC brand is a key part of their product portfolio. The website content is targeted at business and technical audiences, emphasizing reliability and connectivity. The company benefits from a strong brand reputation and consistent branding across digital assets. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies on this page suggests this is a specialized landing or selector page rather than a full corporate site. The company likely has a broad partnership ecosystem and multiple subsidiaries, although not explicitly listed here.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses security best practices such as DOMPurify for input sanitization. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of visible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is minimal on this page, lacking cookie consent mechanisms or GDPR indicators. Overall, the security posture is good technically but could be enhanced with better policy visibility and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on all pages.
  2. Add visible security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is accessible or provide verified domain registration info.
  5. Enhance SEO by allowing indexing and improving meta tags.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a modern tech stack including SystemJS for module loading, Web Components for UI, and Dynatrace for performance monitoring. It is hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast global delivery. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with CSS variables and ARIA attributes. SEO is basic with some meta tags but includes a 'noindex' directive which limits search engine visibility. The site shows no broken elements or errors in the provided HTML. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from improved SEO and privacy compliance features.
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.
