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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

Hilti maintains a strong market position as a leading manufacturer and service provider in the construction tools sector. The website's multilingual hreflang tags indicate a broad international footprint. The business model centers on direct sales and software services to professional contractors and construction firms. The absence of explicit contact details on the site suggests reliance on established customer relationships and possibly localized contact points. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a comprehensive product portfolio.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of modern consent management tools (Didomi), and integration of monitoring and analytics services such as Datadog RUM. However, the absence of visible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The lack of WHOIS data is a concern for domain trust verification but does not directly impact the website's operational security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to enhance incident response capabilities.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is properly configured and publicly available to improve domain legitimacy perception.
  5. Continue to maintain GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy controls as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) with Angular framework components, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Datadog for analytics and monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and fonts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is potential to improve accessibility and performance further by optimizing resource loading and enhancing semantic markup.
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.
