Risk levelLow

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

Contechs is a professional service provider specializing in automotive design and engineering, targeting global automotive OEMs. The company offers innovative design and engineering services from concept through to production, positioning itself as a key player in the transportation sector. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a consistent brand presence and good quality content tailored to its B2B audience. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Coralogix RUM, and uses Bootstrap for responsive design. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service policies, as well as missing WHOIS registration data, limits the ability to fully verify the business's legitimacy and compliance posture. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and incident response contacts, indicating room for improvement in security best practices. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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';…

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

Contechs operates in the automotive design and engineering sector, serving global OEMs with end-to-end services from concept to production. The business model is B2B, focusing on providing specialized engineering expertise. The website suggests a medium-sized company with a solid market position based on innovation and service quality. The lack of detailed company registration or contact information on the site and in WHOIS data suggests a need for improved transparency to strengthen trust. The use of client logos and testimonials indicates an established client base. The company leverages modern digital marketing and analytics tools to understand and engage its audience, but does not publicly disclose privacy or security policies, which may impact compliance with regulations such as GDPR.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits the ability to respond to security incidents effectively. The lack of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could be a risk factor. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in transparency, policy publication, and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen website security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and data protection officer details.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 3.2.0 for responsive design and includes modern analytics and tracking technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Coralogix RUM SDK. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. The hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. The website's technical implementation is solid but could benefit from updated frameworks and enhanced security configurations. No critical technical vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content.
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.
