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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

HQ Chipper Parts holds a solid position in the European manufacturing sector for wood chipper parts, leveraging 15+ years of experience and a large customer base. Their competitive advantage lies in the use of high-quality materials and comprehensive service offerings including manufacturing and repair. The company targets forestry equipment operators and industrial clients, with a business model centered on direct sales via an e-commerce platform. Their participation in multiple European exhibitions enhances brand visibility and customer engagement. The company benefits from European Regional Development Fund support, indicating growth potential and strategic alignment with regional economic initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes industry event organizers and logistics providers, supporting their operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms, and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts and advertising networks introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room to enhance transparency and technical controls to mitigate emerging threats and compliance gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to reduce attack surface.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing jQuery and Google services for analytics and tag management. It employs Google Fonts via WebFont Loader and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. The site is multilingual, supporting multiple European languages, and uses AJAX for dynamic content loading. Performance is moderate with caching and optimization plugins in use. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain is registered through a Latvian registrar consistent with the business location.
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.
