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

HITEC Power Protection is a medium-sized international company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced Dynamic UPS systems. Established in 2004 and headquartered in the Netherlands, the company serves a broad range of critical industries including telecommunications, manufacturing, semiconductor, data centers, finance, healthcare, and government sectors. With a strong parent company affiliation (Air Water INC) and a global footprint supporting over 500 customers in 60 countries, HITEC positions itself as a reliable provider of continuous power solutions. The website infrastructure is built on WordPress, leveraging modern technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Gravity Forms. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and Cloudflare DNS usage, although some security headers and DNSSEC are not enabled. From a security perspective, the site shows a mature posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are areas for improvement. Overall, HITEC Power Protection's website reflects a professional, trustworthy, and business-focused digital presence with solid technical and security foundations, supporting its role as a key player in the power protection industry.

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

4 findings 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

      • 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

  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

  3. 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

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

HITEC Power Protection operates in a competitive niche of power protection systems, leveraging its long-standing history and parent company support to maintain a strong market position. The company targets B2B clients requiring reliable UPS solutions across diverse sectors. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and supporting high-quality power systems, supplemented by digital tools like a configurator for customer engagement. The presence of global clients and partners, along with multilingual support, indicates strategic international growth. Marketing and analytics tools suggest active customer engagement and lead generation efforts. The company could enhance its competitive edge by formalizing security policies and vulnerability disclosures to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS, Cloudflare DNS, and anti-bot measures like Google reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could be a gap in responsible security practices. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Gravity Forms for forms management. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, enhancing performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as hreflang tags for multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic but present. The use of multiple tracking and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
