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

forteq Group is a global leader in precision plastic manufacturing, primarily serving the automotive industry with innovative and high-precision plastic parts. The company emphasizes innovation, quality, reliability, and sustainability, with a strong global presence and a history spanning over 50 years. Their website reflects a professional B2B business model targeting automotive and industrial clients worldwide. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, cookie consent management via Cookiebot, and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with good performance and accessibility features. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, though the domain is relatively new compared to the company's long history, suggesting a recent domain acquisition or rebranding. Overall, the website is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and professionally maintained.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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

  4. 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • 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

forteq Group holds a strong market position as a precision plastic component manufacturer for the automotive sector, leveraging decades of experience and a global footprint. Their competitive advantage lies in comprehensive service offerings including product development, tooling, injection molding, and assembly. The business model is B2B with a focus on high-quality, precision-engineered solutions. The presence of major automotive clients and certifications underscores their credibility. The company invests in sustainability and innovation, indicating growth orientation and strategic market positioning. Their digital ecosystem includes partnerships with analytics and consent management providers, enhancing operational insights and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and anonymized analytics tracking. However, it lacks visible advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no public incident response or security policy page, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism like security.txt, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including Glide.js for sliders, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. It employs lazy loading for images to improve performance and is mobile optimized with responsive design. The site does not appear to use a common CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is through EuroDNS S.A. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility basics. There is room for improvement in accessibility and advanced SEO techniques. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience aligned with corporate branding.
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.
