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

2 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.

    • 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. 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

Grid Connect operates a B2B e-commerce and engineering services business model, serving industrial and IoT markets. Their competitive advantage lies in offering both high-quality products and custom engineering solutions, enabling them to address complex IoT challenges. The company leverages partnerships with multiple manufacturers and integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales and engineering service contracts. The target customer segments are industrial engineers, OEMs, and companies requiring specialized networking solutions. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product catalog and active marketing integrations. The partnership ecosystem includes manufacturers and technology providers, enhancing their product offerings and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for maturity improvement. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency, which could impact perceived legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.
  4. Audit and monitor third-party scripts regularly to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance and security headers to strengthen overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, HubSpot, and other marketing and analytics tools. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast loading times and good performance globally. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, some security headers are not explicitly present, and accessibility features could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but should focus on tightening security headers and reducing technical debt related to third-party script management.
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.
