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

Drake Loaders is a specialized manufacturing company providing mechanical and robotic food handling equipment, primarily serving the food production industry. With over 45 years of experience and more than 1,700 systems deployed worldwide, Drake Loaders holds a strong market position as an industry standard. The company is a subsidiary of Middleby Corporation, which enhances its global reach and technological capabilities. Their product offerings include advanced loaders for various food types, supported by robust customer service and engineering solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and analytics tools, offering good performance and mobile optimization. However, privacy compliance is lacking due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is decent with HTTPS and domain locking but could be improved by adding security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should address compliance gaps to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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 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';…

  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 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

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

Drake Loaders operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on food processing automation. Their competitive advantage lies in their patented technologies, long-standing industry presence, and integration with Middleby Corporation. The business model is B2B, targeting food manufacturers needing efficient loading and packaging solutions. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, parts, upgrades, and service contracts. The company demonstrates growth through innovation and global support hubs. Partnerships with industry leaders and a strong digital presence support their market position. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy compliance and publish security policies to align with evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC reduces the overall security robustness. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and secure forms indicates some attention to input security. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements in policy publication, header implementation, and DNS security to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Improve accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme and several plugins including Gravity Forms and Monarch for social sharing. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Bing Ads, indicating a moderate level of digital marketing sophistication. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The infrastructure appears stable but could benefit from modernization in security configurations and enhanced accessibility compliance. No hosting provider was explicitly identified from the data.
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.
