Risk levelHigh

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

Digital Steel is a project promoted by the Portuguese Association of Metal and Mixed Construction (CMM) aimed at promoting the digitalization of processes in SMEs within the metal and mixed construction sector in Portugal. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform offering details about workshops, events, and digital transformation initiatives such as BIM, 3D printing, and robot welding. The target audience primarily consists of small and medium enterprises in the construction industry seeking to adopt Industry 4.0 technologies. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging modern web fonts and jQuery, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in compliance and security transparency.

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

10 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • 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';…

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 Digital Steel project positions itself as a niche promoter of digital transformation in the Portuguese metal construction SME sector. It leverages partnerships with industry associations like CMM and offers educational workshops and certifications to enhance technological adoption. The business model is focused on industry facilitation rather than direct commercial sales, targeting SMEs aiming to modernize their processes. The presence of co-financing logos indicates public or institutional funding support. Social media channels on Facebook and LinkedIn support community engagement. The project is relatively new, founded in 2020, aligning with the domain registration date. Growth potential lies in expanding digital adoption in a traditionally manual sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No visible security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Forms are minimal and do not appear to collect sensitive data beyond search queries. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Divi theme providing a flexible and visually appealing design. The use of Google Fonts and jQuery is standard and well-supported. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile responsive. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO best practices. The absence of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features indicates some technical debt in security and compliance areas. No advanced analytics or marketing tools are detected, suggesting a focus on content rather than aggressive marketing or tracking.
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.
