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

EMCÉ Winches is a well-established manufacturer specializing in high-quality lifting and pulling equipment such as winches and capstans, serving diverse industrial sectors including energy, marine, oil & gas, and renewables. The company has a strong market presence with over 80 years of experience and a medium-sized operational scale based in the Netherlands. Their website reflects a professional business model focused on custom engineering and global support services. Technically, the website is built on a Yii PHP framework with modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, offering good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CSRF protections but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, and no published security or incident response policies were found. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the business.

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. 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

The company targets industrial clients requiring specialized lifting solutions, leveraging a long history and certifications such as DNV-ST for offshore equipment. Their business model combines manufacturing with professional support and custom engineering, positioning them as a reliable supplier in multiple sectors. The presence of social media and clear contact details supports customer engagement. The company appears to be part of the Stokvis Group, indicating a broader corporate ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by diversified sector presence and technical expertise.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms also poses compliance risks under GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Add explicit security and incident response policies accessible on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a Yii PHP framework with modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, Bloodhound typeahead, and Handlebars.js. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting is managed via Key-Systems GmbH with DNS hosted on TransIP name servers. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, representing technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security 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.
