Risk levelMedium

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

Greenlee is a well-established manufacturer and distributor of professional tools, primarily serving electricians, utility workers, and contractors. With over 150 years of history and as a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co., Greenlee holds a strong market position in the manufacturing sector, offering a broad portfolio of products and services including tool manufacturing, product support, and training. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding, comprehensive product information, and integration with parent and partner brands. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Materialize CSS, and AngularJS, and is built on Orchard CMS. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers could be improved. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the strong corporate affiliation and professional presentation.

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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Greenlee operates in the manufacturing and energy sectors, targeting professional tradespeople and industrial customers. Its business model focuses on product innovation, safety, and efficiency, supported by a comprehensive service and support infrastructure. The company leverages its parent company Emerson's resources and brand portfolio, including RIDGID and Klauke, to maintain competitive advantages. The website's content and navigation support customer engagement through product demos, training, and detailed product categories. The marketing ecosystem includes social media and third-party review integrations, enhancing customer trust and outreach. Growth indicators include new product launches and event promotions. The partnership ecosystem is strong with clear links to parent and sister brands.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. Security best practices such as secure forms and absence of vulnerable libraries are observed. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No public security policy or incident response information is found, which could improve transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce suspicion.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to stay compliant with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including jQuery, AngularJS, Materialize CSS, and Vue.js components, hosted likely on a CDN-backed infrastructure. It uses Orchard CMS as the content management system. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, reviews, and marketing, including Google Tag Manager, Bazaarvoice, and Curalate. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence, though some legacy frameworks like AngularJS and jQuery could be modernized for future-proofing. No critical technical debt or risks were identified from the HTML content.
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.
