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

BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (Besi) is a leading technology company specializing in the development and manufacturing of advanced semiconductor assembly equipment and processes. Their product portfolio includes solutions for die attach, packaging, plating, and cleaning, serving diverse markets such as electronics, automotive, industrial, and renewable energy sectors. The website reflects a mature business with a strong investor relations presence and comprehensive corporate governance disclosures, indicating a well-established market position. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. While the site has a professional design and clear navigation, it lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols exposes the site to potential risks and undermines user trust. Additionally, no cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy compliance features are present, which may pose compliance challenges. From a security perspective, the site implements several security headers and restricts device permissions, but the invalid SSL configuration and lack of session resumption or OCSP stapling reduce overall security effectiveness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the website demonstrates solid business credibility and content quality but requires urgent improvements in security infrastructure and privacy compliance to enhance trustworthiness and protect user data effectively.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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

Besi operates in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment sector, targeting electronics manufacturers and related industries. Their business model focuses on providing high-tech assembly equipment and after-sales services, supported by a strong investor relations framework. The company leverages partnerships with stock exchanges and mail control services, indicating a robust operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent press releases and financial reports, while the absence of direct contact details suggests a controlled communication strategy. The website's comprehensive product catalog and event listings reflect active market engagement and technological leadership.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement. Although security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Type options are present, their effectiveness is diminished without proper SSL. The site does not implement modern TLS protocols or session resumption, and OCSP stapling is disabled. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicating potential gaps in security transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. These factors collectively expose the site to risks including data interception and reduced user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve security transparency.
  4. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and configure OCSP stapling and session resumption.
  5. Add direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve communication trust.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers and privacy policies to maintain compliance and security posture.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature open-source content management system, and uses jQuery 3.6.0 for client-side scripting. Google Tag Manager is deployed for analytics and tracking purposes. The site is hosted on a server with IP 185.71.62.126, with DNS records indicating multiple authoritative name servers and mail exchange servers for email handling. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site includes responsive design elements and structured navigation. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols represents a significant technical debt and security risk. The site would benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
