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

ECOBAT Technologies Ltd. is a leading global company specializing in the production and recycling of lead, particularly from lead-acid batteries. They operate a closed recycling loop, ensuring sustainable and environmentally responsible lead production. The company holds multiple ISO and EMAS certifications, underscoring their commitment to quality and environmental standards. Their market position as the world's largest producer and recycler of lead highlights their industry leadership and extensive operational footprint across Europe and beyond. Technically, the website is built on the Weblication CMS platform using legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Hosting details are limited, but the domain is registered with NameCheap and has a stable history since 2011. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. There is no cookie consent mechanism or explicit privacy compliance features, which may pose regulatory risks. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in security headers, cookie consent, and transparency around incident response would strengthen their security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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"

  3. 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

    • 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

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

ECOBAT Technologies operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors with a focus on lead recycling and production. Their closed-loop recycling business model provides a competitive advantage by controlling the entire supply chain from battery collection to refined lead products. The company targets industrial clients, automotive manufacturers, and recycling partners. Their extensive European facilities and subsidiaries indicate a large operational scale. The company’s certifications and sustainability commitments position them well in markets increasingly focused on environmental responsibility. Growth indicators include recent acquisitions and expansion in engineered plastics. The partnership with industry events like Pollutec suggests active engagement in the environmental technology ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms are gaps that could expose the company to DNS spoofing, clickjacking, and privacy compliance issues. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies reduce transparency and readiness for security events. The lack of visible analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user data collection, which is positive for privacy. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses an older JavaScript stack with jQuery 1.x and jQuery UI, which may have known vulnerabilities and performance limitations. The CMS is Weblication, a less common platform, which may limit integration options and modern features. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities, especially for mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks modern security configurations and analytics tools, indicating technical debt and potential modernization needs. Hosting details are minimal, but domain registration is stable and consistent.
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.
