Risk levelMedium

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

Hilti Saudi Arabia operates as a regional branch of the global Hilti brand, specializing in manufacturing and supplying power tools, fasteners, and construction-related software and services. The website targets construction professionals and businesses, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products and services tailored to the construction industry. The digital infrastructure is built on Adobe Experience Manager with Angular framework, integrating modern analytics and consent management tools to ensure compliance and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, though some security best practices like explicit security headers and incident response contacts could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data slightly impacts trust but the overall brand presence and content quality indicate a legitimate and professional operation.

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

5 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 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. 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

    • 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

  3. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Hilti maintains a strong market position as a leading manufacturer and supplier of construction tools and services. The business model focuses on B2B sales to construction professionals, supported by software and service offerings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and integration of global marketing and analytics platforms. The lack of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service or contact via other channels. The company likely benefits from global brand recognition and regional adaptation. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a controlled ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of consent management platforms, and integration of reputable analytics services. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and absence of a security.txt file or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF or security challenge, allowing full content access. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced with additional transparency and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  2. Add explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish incident response and abuse contact information prominently.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Angular framework and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with multiple asynchronous scripts for analytics and marketing. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and alternate hreflang links. The site integrates multiple tracking and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Datadog RUM, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring for security and privacy compliance.
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.
