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

Daniels Fans is a specialized manufacturer of industrial and high temperature fans, serving furnace manufacturers globally with a broad range of products including custom solutions and repair services. The company is positioned as a leading player in the manufacturing sector with a medium-sized footprint and a parent company relationship to Cincinnati Fan Company. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to industrial clients. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and uses modern analytics tools such as HubSpot and Google Analytics. It is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting trustworthiness despite the professional presentation. Overall, the site is functional and credible but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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. 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. 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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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

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

The company operates in the manufacturing and energy sectors, focusing on high temperature and industrial fans. Its business model centers on product manufacturing, customization, and after-sales services such as repair and retrofit. The target customers are industrial and furnace manufacturers requiring specialized fan solutions. The company leverages its parent company relationship for market strength and credibility. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an international market presence. The use of HubSpot and Google Analytics suggests active marketing and customer engagement efforts. The lack of visible contact emails but presence of phone numbers and contact forms indicates controlled communication channels. The company maintains transparency through terms and conditions and a modern slavery statement, aligning with compliance expectations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, demonstrating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The WHOIS data absence raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which is a significant trust factor. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing more comprehensive cookie management options.

It integrates HubSpot and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads multiple external scripts and stylesheets from trusted domains, indicating a modern web infrastructure.

SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses a cookie consent banner consistent with GDPR requirements. No hosting provider information was detected. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential dependency on third-party scripts.
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.
