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

6 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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
  • 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

The company targets emergency response teams, federal government agencies, and industrial clients requiring high-pressure air solutions. Arctic Compressor leverages certifications like NFPA 1901 and CGA Grade E to establish trust and compliance in safety-critical markets. Their product portfolio includes compressors, fill stations, and mobile trailers, emphasizing reliability and user-friendly operation. The presence of testimonials and warranty information enhances customer confidence. The business ecosystem includes dealer portals and HR platforms, indicating structured operations and growth orientation. Market positioning as a leading American manufacturer with global service suggests a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and customer support.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, uses Google Tag Manager and Microsoft UET for analytics, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and does not display cookie consent banners, which are important for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security culture. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers, policies, and user privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Ensure WHOIS information is complete and consistent with business identity to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize risk from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and carousels. Google Tag Manager and Microsoft UET tags are implemented for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with some deferred script loading to improve initial load times. The site structure is clear, with well-organized navigation and rich multimedia content. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, indicating a well-maintained digital infrastructure.
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.
