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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Eaton operates in the energy and transportation sectors, targeting global industrial and commercial customers. The business model is B2B, focusing on manufacturing and delivering power management solutions. The website supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a broad international market reach. Eaton's brand consistency and trust indicators such as privacy policies and secure infrastructure reinforce its market position as a large enterprise. The use of advanced CMS and marketing tools suggests a strategic investment in digital transformation and customer engagement. No direct contact information was found on this page, which is typical for a location selector rather than a contact or sales page.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and integrates cookie consent compliant with GDPR. Security best practices include no exposed sensitive data and use of consent banners. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected. The WHOIS data absence limits domain trust verification but does not detract from the site's apparent security maturity. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional transparency and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses jQuery along with Adobe DTM for tag management. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics services including Facebook Pixel, Twitter tags, and Usabilla for feedback. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern font loading techniques. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information but appears professionally maintained with good SEO and metadata practices.
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.
