Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.flex-tools.com presents a professional online presence for FLEX, a company specializing in power tools and accessories targeted at professional craftsmen. The site highlights system solutions for renovation, metalworking, automotive, and natural stone work, indicating a focus on manufacturing and industrial sectors. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies such as Next.js and React, with integrations for analytics and consent management, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate gaps in transparency and compliance. Security posture is moderate with no detected blocking mechanisms or WAF, but missing security headers and unclear SSL configuration suggest room for improvement. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures to improve trust and risk posture.

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

9 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 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';…

  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

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

FLEX appears positioned as a manufacturer and supplier of professional-grade power tools and accessories, catering primarily to craftsmen and industrial users. The business model likely revolves around product sales and system solutions for specialized applications. The website content is well-branded and consistent, targeting a niche market segment. The lack of detailed business information, contact data, and WHOIS transparency limits deeper insights into company size, ownership, and market reach. The presence of multiple third-party analytics and tracking services suggests active marketing efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is presumably enabled (inferred from modern tech stack and image URLs), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No forms or input fields were found, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and improving WHOIS transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure WHOIS registration data is complete and publicly accessible to improve domain legitimacy.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Next.js) with React components, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. It includes integrations with Usercentrics for consent management and GetResponse for analytics. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with multiple asynchronous scripts loaded. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified. The site lacks visible forms or interactive elements in the provided HTML snippet. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adding accessibility features and optimizing security configurations.
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.
