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

BIC aluminium is a precision sheet metal fabrication company based in Latvia, specializing in subcontract metalworking services across multiple sectors including energy, transportation, manufacturing, and real estate. Founded in 2001, the company has a medium-sized workforce and a strong international presence, exporting to 16 countries. Their key services include milling, punching, bending, forming, welding, painting, anodizing, laser cutting, profile milling, and assembly work. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, jQuery, AOS, and Google Analytics. It is mobile optimized and performs moderately well. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks some advanced security headers. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented, indicating good privacy compliance. Analytics usage is moderate with Google services. Security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response information. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a domain registered in 2017 with no privacy protection, which aligns with the company’s transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding explicit security policies, and maintaining up-to-date software to further strengthen security and compliance.

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

4 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 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

  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

  4. 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

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

Business profile

BIC aluminium operates in the precision metal fabrication industry with a B2B business model focused on subcontracting. Their market positioning is strong within Europe, supported by certifications such as EN 1090 and ISO 14001, which enhance credibility. The company targets industrial clients requiring custom metalworking solutions across sectors like building, infrastructure, railway, oil and gas, glazing, and industrial machining. Their growth is indicated by a large number of completed projects and exports to multiple countries. Partnerships with web development firms and use of modern digital marketing tools suggest a mature digital presence. The company’s transparent contact information and certifications support a trustworthy reputation in the manufacturing sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of validated contact forms with input validation reduces risk of injection attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency in security incident handling. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears sound but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and modular tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, jQuery for scripting, AOS for animations, and Slick Slider for UI components. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking and analytics. The site is mobile responsive and uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The site uses standard web technologies and plugins, indicating manageable technical debt but requiring ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
