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

7 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 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

ARI-Armaturen operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on valves and actuators for industrial applications including energy, chemical, HVAC, shipbuilding, and plant engineering markets. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and distributing a wide range of valve products with a 'one-stop shop' approach. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable and customized valve solutions. The presence of international partner sites and a legacy domain indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The company leverages digital tools like online portals and software for customer engagement. Growth indicators include recent acquisitions and active participation in international trade fairs. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear business information and social media engagement, supporting its competitive positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented ensuring encrypted communications. A cookie consent banner is present, supporting privacy compliance. However, no advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a security.txt file, which limits transparency on vulnerability handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is managed via consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. The use of Owl Carousel and other JavaScript libraries supports dynamic content presentation. The site loads with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, integrating privacy compliance. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and security improvements.
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.
