Apstec Systems is a technology company specializing in advanced security screening solutions that leverage AI and machine learning to detect explosives, weapons, and narcotics in crowded public spaces. Their products, such as the HSS Falcon and Human Security Radar (HSR™), offer high-throughput, real-time screening capabilities designed to enhance security while maintaining a seamless experience for users. The company targets sectors including airports, stadiums, customs, maritime, hotels, and large public venues.
Technically, the website is built on OctoberCMS and employs modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Anime.js. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and relevant content.
From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information, indicating areas for improvement in transparency and security communication.
Overall, the website presents a credible and professional front for Apstec Systems, with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic enhancements in security headers, DNS security, and clearer contact information would further strengthen their security posture and user trust.

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.
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
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"

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Apstec Systems positions itself as an innovator in the security technology market, focusing on AI-driven, high-throughput screening solutions for public safety. Their business model is B2B, targeting organizations responsible for security in high-traffic venues. The company leverages advanced detection technologies combined with AI and machine learning to differentiate itself from traditional screening methods. The website content and product descriptions emphasize seamless user experience and operational efficiency, which are key competitive advantages. The absence of direct contact details suggests a controlled lead generation approach via demo requests. The company appears medium-sized, founded in 2012, with a consistent brand presence and no apparent parent or subsidiary companies. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to privacy compliance and consent management. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden the site against common web threats. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could impact stakeholder confidence. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the visible content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and transparency.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Provide verified company contact emails and phone numbers to facilitate direct communication.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on OctoberCMS, a PHP-based content management system, and uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1, jQuery 3.3.1, Popper.js, and Anime.js for animations. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and cookie consent management. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs, which aids performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive layouts. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and SEO optimizations appear basic. Hosting appears to be via NameCheap, consistent with the registrar information. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and animations that may impact load times on slower connections. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with improved accessibility and SEO practices.
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.
