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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

    • 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Cla-Val operates in essential industrial sectors, providing critical infrastructure components like control valves for municipal and industrial applications. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and distribution, supported by field services and training programs. The company targets industrial clients and municipal entities, leveraging a global partner network to extend market reach. Marketing efforts are supported by advanced tracking and analytics, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The website content and structure support clear navigation and product discovery, enhancing customer experience and trust. The lack of visible WHOIS data is a minor risk factor but does not detract significantly from the company's established market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and integrates cookie consent for privacy compliance. Security headers are partially detected but could be enhanced by adding explicit Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The site uses reputable third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for security. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency but does not indicate immediate risk. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Verify domain registration status and update WHOIS information to strengthen legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Marketo Munchkin, Lucky Orange, and MightyRep for user tracking and engagement analysis. The site uses Ajax Search Lite for enhanced search functionality and a Mega Menu plugin for navigation. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical infrastructure is solid but would benefit from ongoing maintenance and security hardening to mitigate risks associated with third-party dependencies.
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.
