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. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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

asecos holds a strong market position as a specialized manufacturer of safety cabinets for hazardous substances, serving a diverse customer base across multiple sectors including laboratories, industry, and agriculture. Their business model combines product sales, rental concepts, and comprehensive service offerings such as maintenance and expert training. The company leverages certifications and compliance as competitive advantages and maintains a broad partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active participation in trade fairs, a detailed blog, and an academy for knowledge dissemination. The website's multilingual support and extensive product configurators indicate a focus on international markets and customer-centric solutions. asecos's operations reflect a medium-sized manufacturing entity with a clear focus on safety and environmental protection.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS usage, cookie consent, and form validation. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit incident response or security policy pages indicates a potential compliance gap. The use of third-party tracking and chat services is balanced with privacy notices and consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration and perform regular audits to ensure strong encryption standards.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies aligned with evolving GDPR and data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.8.3, Modernizr, and jQuery Validate for client-side validation, supplemented by Slimbox2 for image lightboxes. Google Tag Manager and LiveChat are integrated for analytics and customer support. The site is well-structured with responsive design elements and SEO-optimized metadata. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading for images and asynchronous script loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, supporting a broad user base. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving security headers to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
