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

Global Lift is a German-based manufacturer specializing in elevators and cranes, with a market presence since 1999. The company offers a range of products including passenger elevators, freight elevators, hospital platforms, and lifts for people with disabilities, targeting both businesses and private customers. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing quality and technical support. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern libraries such as jQuery and GSAP, with SEO optimizations via Rank Math and Google Tag Manager integration. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy, and well-structured but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Global Lift operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on elevator and crane solutions primarily for the European market. Their business model includes direct sales and technical consultation, serving small to medium enterprises and individual homeowners. The company leverages customer testimonials to build trust and positions itself as a reliable European manufacturer. The website's content and structure support a clear value proposition centered on quality and technical expertise. While the domain registration shows some geographic inconsistency with Polish name servers, the business claims and website content align with German operations. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses reputable third-party scripts and plugins. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. There is no published security policy or incident response plan, nor a security.txt file for vulnerability reporting. Forms appear to be standard WordPress Contact Form 7 implementations without visible advanced security controls. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The overall security posture is moderate but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.9.1 with Elementor page builder and several plugins including Contact Form 7 and Rank Math SEO. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and GSAP 3.12.2 for animations and interactivity. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but DNS uses Polish name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
