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 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 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

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

Fusion Group operates in the energy and industrial sectors, targeting professional customers requiring polyethylene pipeline solutions. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and supplying high-quality fittings and valves, supported by innovation and digital tools. The company benefits from its affiliation with the AVK Group, enhancing its global reach and credibility. Marketing efforts include detailed product brochures, case studies, and video content, supported by analytics and targeted advertising via Google and Tru Optik. The website's comprehensive cookie and privacy policies reflect a commitment to compliance and transparency. Growth indicators include multiple global subsidiaries and a broad product range. Strategic partnerships with AVK and cookie management providers strengthen their ecosystem. The company’s operations emphasize quality, innovation, and customer service excellence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates security features such as hCaptcha to mitigate automated threats. Cookie consent is managed via a robust banner with detailed categorization and opt-in/out options, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed, suggesting room for improvement. The use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance WHOIS registration transparency to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and hCaptcha for bot protection. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and fonts.net for typography. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured content. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and scripts to optimize load times. The cookie consent mechanism is sophisticated, providing granular user control. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and enhance transparency around domain registration.
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.
