Risk levelHigh

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

Communications Test Design India Pvt. Ltd. (CTDI India) is a large, established subsidiary of the global company Communications Test Design Inc., specializing in repair, engineering, and logistics services primarily for telecom carriers, cable companies, and OEMs. The company operates multiple facilities in India and worldwide, serving a broad target audience in telecommunications and related technology sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear business information and service offerings. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Axios, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens present, but missing security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are notable gaps. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

11 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)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • 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"

      • 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"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

CTDI India holds a strong market position as a global service provider with a comprehensive portfolio including network services, IT & networking, set-top box services, and consumer electronics repair and supply chain management. The business model focuses on technical supply chain solutions and after-sales services, targeting telecom and technology sectors. The company benefits from its parent company’s global footprint and brand recognition. Publicly available financial and CSR documents indicate transparency and corporate responsibility. The company’s digital presence is professional but could improve privacy compliance and security disclosures to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and CSRF protection evident. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting incident response readiness and transparency. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no vulnerable components are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Axios for HTTP requests, and SweetAlert for user notifications. The site loads external CSS and JS from trusted CDNs and hosts some assets locally. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive navigation and layout. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal, lacking structured data or Open Graph metadata. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicit from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional web presence but has room for modernization and enhancement.
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.
