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

Climatec, LLC is a well-established provider of building technology and energy efficiency solutions, serving primarily commercial and public sector clients. Founded in 1975 and a member of the Robert Bosch family since 2015, Climatec offers key services including Energy Services, Building Automation, and Security + Life Safety. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for building safety, comfort, and efficiency across the United States. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. The site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA for form security, but lacks explicit HTTP security headers and publicly available security policies, which could be improved to enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site shows a moderate maturity level with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the provided data. However, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain transparency and trustworthiness. The presence of a suspicious external script domain also suggests the need for further security review. Overall, Climatec's website is professional and trustworthy in content and design, but improvements in domain registration transparency and security headers are recommended to strengthen its security posture and compliance. Strategic focus on publishing security policies and incident response information would further enhance trust 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. 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

  2. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Climatec operates in the energy sector, focusing on building technology integration and energy efficiency solutions. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting commercial and public sector building owners and managers. The company benefits from its affiliation with Robert Bosch, enhancing its market credibility and reach. Key competitive advantages include a long operational history since 1975, a broad portfolio of services, and strong customer trust evidenced by testimonials. The website indicates a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on customer experience. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service offering and a national presence. The company’s digital presence is professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the lack of HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant transparency gap that could affect trust. The presence of a suspicious external script domain requires further investigation to rule out potential risks. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and transparency to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Investigate and validate all external scripts, especially those from suspicious domains, to mitigate potential security risks.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is publicly available to enhance domain trustworthiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection and is hosted on Webflow's CDN infrastructure, ensuring good availability and moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility considerations, though these could be improved further. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and the inclusion of a suspicious external script domain represent technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with improved security configurations and transparency.
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.
