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

9 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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

Certex Eesti leverages its parent company Lifting Solutions Group's brand and resources to maintain a competitive edge in the manufacturing and industrial supply sector. Its business model combines direct sales and e-commerce, serving a niche market of lifting and load securing equipment. The detailed product categorization and multi-language support indicate a focus on regional expansion and customer convenience. The company benefits from clear contact channels and a consistent brand presence, supporting customer trust and operational transparency. No significant partnerships beyond the parent company were identified, but the integration of Google Tag Manager and CookiePro suggests a focus on marketing and compliance. Growth potential lies in expanding digital sales and enhancing security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, reflecting a mature security posture. Cookie consent is managed via CookiePro, indicating GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. The site uses Google Tag Manager for controlled script loading, reducing risk from third-party scripts. Recommendations include publishing security policies, adding a security.txt file, and improving accessibility compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by formalizing policies and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Pimcore CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Font Awesome for icons and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management and uses CookiePro for cookie consent management. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Hosting appears to be managed internally or via a dedicated provider (sst.certex.ee). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business model effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
