Risk levelLow

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

Elgin Sweeper Company is a well-established manufacturer of street sweepers with over 110 years of industry experience. The company offers a broad range of sweeping technologies including mechanical, regenerative air, vacuum, and electric sweepers, targeting municipal, industrial, and residential markets. Their website reflects a mature digital presence built on HubSpot CMS, integrating multiple analytics and marketing tools to support customer engagement and lead generation. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS registration data introduces some uncertainty about domain registration transparency, but the overall business credibility remains high based on content and branding. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, improving accessibility, and providing direct contact information to enhance trust and 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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

Elgin Sweeper operates in the transportation sector, focusing on manufacturing and selling street sweepers globally. Their market position is strong, supported by a century-long history and affiliation with Federal Signal Corporation. The business model centers on product innovation, dealer networks, and customer support services. The website targets municipal governments, airports, industrial clients, and residential communities, emphasizing eco-conscious and reliable sweeping solutions. Marketing efforts leverage advanced analytics and retargeting technologies. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product portfolio and active dealer engagement. The partnership with Federal Signal Corporation enhances operational scale and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure processes suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to high but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to facilitate direct communication.
  3. Implement accessibility improvements to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries for interactive features. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Mouseflow, and ContentSquare for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO and accessibility basics. Hosting is provided by HubSpot, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. Some CSS and JavaScript assets are loaded asynchronously to optimize load times. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though performance could be further optimized by reducing third-party script load and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
