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

HMS Networks AB is a well-established technology company specializing in industrial remote connectivity and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. Their Ewon brand offers secure remote access and data visualization tools for machine builders and industrial equipment users globally. The company positions itself as a key player in industrial network connectivity, providing a broad portfolio of products and services including gateways, protocol converters, and network security solutions. The website reflects a mature B2B business model targeting industrial sectors such as manufacturing and transportation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Matomo and Google Analytics for tracking, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, has good accessibility features, and uses HTTPS with strong security headers, indicating a robust digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as enforcing HTTPS, implementing cookie consent, and using security headers. However, there is no publicly available vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The absence of WHOIS data in the provided raw output slightly reduces trustworthiness but is mitigated by the professional presentation and comprehensive policies. Overall, HMS Networks presents a secure, professional, and compliant online presence suitable for its industrial clientele. Strategic recommendations include publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, incident response contacts, and enhancing transparency around data retention and security certifications to further strengthen 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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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.

    • 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

HMS Networks operates in the industrial technology sector with a focus on connectivity and IIoT solutions. Their market positioning is strong, supported by a diverse product portfolio and multiple subsidiary brands such as Anybus, Intesis, and Red Lion. The company targets machine builders and industrial users, leveraging a B2B model with global reach. Revenue streams likely include product sales, software licenses, and professional services. The website indicates a mature partnership ecosystem and a commitment to sustainability and quality. Growth indicators include active support portals, training, and professional services offerings. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and provides extensive resources for customers and investors.

Security posture

The security posture of HMS Networks' website is solid, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. Compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST is not explicitly stated on the site. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing vulnerability management and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Disclose security certifications or compliance frameworks to strengthen trust.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user privacy practices.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, Matomo analytics, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good SEO and accessibility. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though some optimization could improve load times. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced technical documentation.
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.
