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

The exceet Card Group is a leading European manufacturer specializing in chip and plastic cards, serving sectors such as banking, government, transportation, and retail. The company produces approximately 400 million cards annually across six locations, emphasizing high security and sustainability. Their offerings include physical cards, security documents, and a digital card management app called mobile-pocket. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress with modern plugins and strong SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is robust, with HTTPS, anti-spam measures, and ISO 14298:2021 certification for security printing processes. However, the absence of WHOIS registrant data introduces a minor trust concern. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and compliant with GDPR and cookie regulations.

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

4 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 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. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

exceet Card Group holds a strong market position as a trusted card manufacturer with certifications from VISA, Mastercard, and ISO standards. Their business model integrates production, personalization, logistics, and digital solutions, targeting financial institutions, government bodies, and retail companies. The company emphasizes sustainability by using recycled and eco-friendly materials. Their LinkedIn presence and detailed policies indicate a transparent and professional operation. Growth potential is supported by digital product expansion and adherence to high security standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and anti-spam protections. The company’s production processes are ISO 14298:2021 certified, indicating strong internal security controls. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Regular plugin audits and enhanced form security are recommended to maintain resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information to facilitate security communication.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and dependencies.
  4. Enhance input validation and monitoring on web forms to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Maintain and update SSL/TLS configurations to adhere to best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using Elementor and Jet plugins, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. Integration of Google Maps API, reCAPTCHA, and CleanTalk anti-spam enhances functionality and security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and structured data. The technical stack is current but requires ongoing maintenance to avoid plugin vulnerabilities and ensure fast loading times.
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.
