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

H. M. Transtech is a Slovakia-based family-owned manufacturing company specializing in the development, production, and sale of sheet metal processing machinery such as guillotine shears, folding machines, and cut to length lines. Established in 1997, the company has a strong international presence, selling machines in over 30 countries and producing the majority of parts in-house. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting manufacturers and service centers in the sheet metal industry. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap and UIkit frameworks, offering good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with privacy and cookie policies present, and a newsletter subscription form that includes terms and conditions. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-maintained, supporting the company's credibility and market position.

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

3 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 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
    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on sheet metal machinery for small to large producers. Their business model combines standard product offerings with custom machinery solutions, catering to a diverse international customer base. The presence of reputable partners and a broad product range indicates a stable market position. The company leverages digital channels including social media and newsletter marketing to engage customers. Growth indicators include a long operational history and extensive machine sales. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of visible security headers reduce the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The newsletter form uses CSRF tokens, indicating some attention to secure data handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by implementing a cookie consent mechanism and detailing data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS combined with Bootstrap 5 and UIkit frameworks, providing a modern and responsive design. The use of AcyMailing for newsletter management indicates integration of marketing tools. Hosting is via Websupport.sk, a known provider. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though no advanced analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site is multilingual, supporting English, Czech, and Slovak languages, enhancing reach. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by improving security headers and DNS configurations.
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.
