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. DNS health

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

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

  4. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Caterpillar Inc. operates in manufacturing and related sectors, providing heavy equipment and machinery. This login portal supports internal users and partners accessing Caterpillar applications, reflecting a business model centered on enterprise software services. The use of Microsoft Azure B2C indicates strategic partnership with cloud providers for identity management. The website's branding and content quality align with Caterpillar's market position as a large enterprise. No direct contact or marketing information is present, consistent with the portal's purpose as an access point rather than a public marketing site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and OAuth2 authorization code flow for authentication. Use of CSRF tokens and trusted script sources further enhance security. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies reduce compliance maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response contact information is missing, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and link to comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the login portal.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Microsoft Azure B2C for identity management, indicating a modern cloud-based infrastructure. Frontend technologies include jQuery 3.5.1 and Handlebars 4.7.7 for templating, with Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager integrated. Hosting is via Azure CDN endpoints, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. No CMS is detected, consistent with a custom enterprise portal. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
