Risk levelHigh

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

ELMI is a well-established manufacturer of laboratory technology equipment, offering a broad range of innovative products such as centrifuges, mixers, and heating devices targeted at research and development sectors. The company has a strong market presence supported by a domain registered since 2000 and multilingual website support. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging common plugins and libraries to provide e-commerce and multilingual capabilities. The site is hosted on HostGator and demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie banner present, though GDPR compliance is not explicitly stated. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

    • 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';…

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

ELMI operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on laboratory equipment for scientific research markets. Their business model centers on product manufacturing and direct sales via an e-commerce enabled website. The company targets research institutions and laboratories globally, with content available in English and Russian. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a clear product catalog. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on digital engagement through the MyELMI customer portal. The company maintains a YouTube channel for marketing and customer engagement. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which may indicate limited transparency in security governance. The website does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, limiting external security reporting capabilities. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing GDPR adherence and providing clear user data handling policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and OwlCarousel for UI components. The site is hosted on HostGator, indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with standard optimization techniques applied, including responsive design and prefetching. Accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual support via WPML. The technical stack is modern but could be improved by adopting advanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
