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

3 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

DesignPro Automation operates in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors with a focus on MedTech automation. Their business model revolves around bespoke machine building and integration of advanced technologies such as robotics and vision systems. The company targets medical device manufacturers and automotive clients, emphasizing innovation and quality. Their website content, case studies, and client logos indicate a well-established presence and strategic partnerships. The company is medium-sized, founded in 2022, and based in Ireland. They maintain active social media channels and utilize marketing and analytics tools to support growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration, uses CAPTCHA to protect forms from spam, and integrates security-conscious plugins. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Incident response and dedicated security policies are not publicly available, indicating room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Maintain regular updates of all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance monitoring and alerting mechanisms for potential security incidents.
  5. Continue to improve privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a robust tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, and various plugins like Gravity Forms, Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and others for performance and functionality. The site uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. Performance optimizations such as lazy loading and caching are implemented, resulting in fast load times. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing maintenance is necessary to keep the platform secure and performant.
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.
