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

Aquafil is a well-established company specializing in the production of Polyamide 6 and pioneering circular business models in the textile and clothing sector. The company positions itself as a leader in sustainable textile manufacturing with a focus on environmental responsibility. Their website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress, incorporating modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, demonstrating a commitment to GDPR compliance. However, explicit contact details such as emails and phone numbers are not directly provided, relying instead on a contact form for communication. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or indicates the domain may not be registered, which is inconsistent with the company's claimed history and raises questions about domain registration transparency. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but the domain registration ambiguity warrants further investigation.

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

4 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Aquafil operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on textiles and sustainable materials. Their circular business model is a competitive advantage, appealing to environmentally conscious businesses and consumers. The company targets industry stakeholders and partners interested in sustainable textile solutions. The website content and metadata emphasize their leadership and innovation in Polyamide 6 production. The absence of explicit partner or subsidiary domains suggests a focused brand presence. Advertising and analytics practices are transparent and compliant, leveraging major platforms like Google and Meta. The business model is consistent with a large enterprise with a long history, although domain registration data does not corroborate this fully. Strategic partnerships and certifications are not prominently displayed, indicating potential areas for business development and trust enhancement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or security contact information, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security incidents. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file further limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve site security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and enhance trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to demonstrate proactive security management.
  4. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain registration details to resolve inconsistencies and improve legitimacy perception.

The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and includes multiple Apple touch icons for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with standard optimization practices. The site is mobile-friendly and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant web presence with opportunities for further security and performance enhancements.
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.
