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. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Desktop Metal holds a strong market position in the additive manufacturing industry, offering innovative metal and composite 3D printing solutions. Their business model focuses on B2B sales of hardware, materials, and software, targeting industrial manufacturers and healthcare sectors. The company has expanded through subsidiaries and partnerships, enhancing its product and technology portfolio. The website reflects a strategic approach to branding and market segmentation, with clear messaging and detailed product information. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, materials supply, software licensing, and service contracts. The presence of multiple partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting growth and innovation. The company appears to be large in size with a global reach, although specific founding year and corporate registration details are not disclosed on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web application. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability disclosure is provided, which could hinder incident response readiness. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with the need for ongoing monitoring to avoid vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security and privacy concerns to improve incident response and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure they are up to date and free from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.0 and integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms including Google Tag Manager, Google Optimize, Hotjar, and Facebook Ads Pixel. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and Twitter Card metadata. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence, though there is an opportunity to enhance security configurations and reduce reliance on multiple third-party scripts to minimize attack surface.
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.
