Risk levelLow

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

Bekaert is a global leader in the material science sector specializing in steel wire transformation and coating technologies. The company leverages its expertise to provide innovative materials and services beyond steel, targeting industrial and manufacturing clients worldwide. Their market position is strong, supported by a comprehensive digital presence and consistent branding. The website reflects a mature enterprise with a focus on B2B services and technology solutions. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Experience Manager CMS, and integrates advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Adobe Launch, Marketo, and New Relic. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility could be improved. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are absent. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, but WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, enhancing accessibility, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

Bekaert operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors with a focus on steel wire and coatings. Their business model is B2B, serving industrial clients globally. The company holds ISO certifications indicating quality and environmental management standards. Their digital ecosystem includes social media channels and advanced marketing tools, reflecting a sophisticated approach to customer engagement and lead generation. The absence of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, common for enterprises. The company’s market positioning as a technology leader is supported by their comprehensive service offerings and global reach. No direct parent or subsidiary domains were identified, indicating a standalone brand presence online.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Cookie consent and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and standards.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for all users.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.

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.
