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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Hardox® Wearparts holds a strong market position as the exclusive certified network for Hardox® wear plate solutions, targeting industrial sectors requiring durable wear parts. The business model focuses on B2B manufacturing and distribution through certified centers, leveraging SSAB's brand and technology. The company benefits from global reach and sustainability messaging, appealing to customers seeking high-performance and eco-friendly wear solutions. The website supports this positioning with customer stories and detailed product information, though direct contact details are not prominently displayed on the main page. The partnership with SSAB enhances credibility and market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and domain transfer protection. The use of a reputable CDN and modern frameworks reduces attack surface and improves resilience. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is strong, supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security governance information and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider adding clear company contact information (email, phone, address) on the main site for better customer support and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and SEO optimization. It uses Azure CDN for media delivery, enhancing load times globally. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical implementation is robust with no major issues, supporting a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
