Risk levelHigh

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

Galea Curmi Engineering Services Ltd. is a specialized consulting engineering firm based in Malta, focusing on infrared thermography, VOC optical gas imaging, building services consultancy, and equipment sales and rentals. The company targets private, commercial, and industrial clients requiring technical engineering solutions. The website presents a professional image with clear service offerings and participation in European co-financed projects, indicating a credible market position in the energy and engineering sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with legacy jQuery libraries and uses Breeze caching for performance. While the site is accessible and moderately optimized, it lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which pose security risks. The site has basic mobile optimization and SEO but does not implement advanced analytics or tracking. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enabled, but no advanced security headers or policies are detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR best practices. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and contact transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Galea Curmi operates in a niche market providing specialized engineering consulting and infrared thermography services primarily in Malta. Its business model combines consulting with equipment sales and rentals, targeting industrial and commercial clients. The company leverages European funding programs, indicating active participation in innovation and R&D. The website reflects a small-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a focus on technical expertise. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement. No evident partnerships beyond a few linked domains are identified, and the company appears self-contained with a focused service portfolio.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. HTTPS is implemented, but the site lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS. The use of outdated jQuery 1.8.3 introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. Incident response and security policy information are absent, limiting preparedness and transparency. The absence of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture requires significant enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS to strengthen site security.
  4. Publish clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to demonstrate security governance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Breeze caching and uses legacy jQuery and jQuery UI versions from 2012-2013, which are outdated and vulnerable. The site loads multiple minified CSS and JS files via Breeze cache, indicating some performance optimization. However, mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no ARIA or advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, with modernization opportunities to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
