With over 25 years of experience and a strong market presence, the company serves major retailers worldwide, boasting that 60% of the top 50 retailers use their SpacePole technology. Their business model focuses on B2B supply and custom solutions, supported by certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, underscoring their commitment to quality and environmental management. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, Plyr video player, and Elfsight widgets, integrated with ClickDimensions for marketing and analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices and a professional design that enhances user experience. Privacy and cookie compliance are robust, featuring a consent banner and detailed policies. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and demonstrates good security practices, although some security headers are not explicitly visible and could be improved. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the HTML content. The absence of a public incident response contact or security.txt file suggests room for enhancement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management. Overall, Ergonomic Solutions presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The domain registration details align well with the company's claims, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file to further strengthen security posture and transparency.

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

5 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Ergonomic Solutions holds a strong position in the retail technology mounting solutions market, leveraging over two decades of experience and a broad portfolio of products including SpacePole POS mounts, payment solutions, tablet enclosures, digital signage mounts, and outdoor kiosks. Their business model is B2B focused, targeting retailers, technology integrators, and distribution partners globally. The company benefits from strategic partnerships, including a US-based partner site (spacepole.com), and showcases a wide customer base with logos of major retailers. Their revenue streams likely include product sales, custom solutions, and service contracts. The website content, including case studies and press releases, indicates active engagement with customers and continuous innovation. The presence of certifications and quality assurance policies further supports their competitive advantage and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of deferred and asynchronous loading of scripts reduces attack surface and improves performance. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy are not evident in the HTML and should be verified server-side. The lack of a published incident response contact or security.txt file limits transparency in vulnerability handling. Third-party scripts like ClickDimensions and Elfsight are used, which require regular security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site follows good security practices but can improve in incident response readiness and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response contact email (e.g., security@ergonomic-solutions.net) and consider adding a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency and user trust by providing clear data retention policies and privacy notices.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including penetration testing, monitoring, and employee security awareness training.

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.
