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

HORIBA is a globally recognized enterprise specializing in the manufacture and supply of precision instruments and systems across multiple sectors including automotive, environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, semiconductor, and scientific research. The company maintains a strong market position with a comprehensive portfolio of products and services tailored to industrial and scientific clients worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and detailed business information, supporting its enterprise stature. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and Font Awesome for responsive and accessible design. The site demonstrates good performance and SEO practices, with mobile optimization and structured metadata enhancing user experience and search visibility. Security measures are robust, featuring HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. From a security perspective, the site shows a solid posture with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and proactive security communication. Overall, HORIBA's website presents a trustworthy and professional digital front consistent with its business reputation. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust verification, but the site’s quality and business indicators support legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, improving accessibility features, and establishing formal vulnerability disclosure channels to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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

HORIBA operates as an essential entity within the technology sector, focusing on instrumentation and measurement solutions for diverse industries such as automotive, environmental, medical, semiconductor, and scientific research. Its business model is primarily B2B, targeting industrial clients and research institutions. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, ISO certifications, and a broad product portfolio that supports its competitive advantage. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with global reach and enterprise scale. Growth indicators include comprehensive service offerings and active engagement through multiple communication channels. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but implied through external links and social media presence. HORIBA’s operations reflect a strategic focus on innovation and quality, positioning it well within its market niche.

Security posture

HORIBA’s website security posture is strong, with HTTPS enforced site-wide and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site employs secure forms likely protected against common web attacks. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms demonstrate compliance with GDPR and related regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact stakeholder confidence in security readiness. There is no evidence of incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails. Overall, the security maturity level is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and establishing clear communication channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish clear security contact channels (e.g., security@horiba.com) for incident reporting and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It utilizes modern front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for iconography. VideoJS is used for media playback, indicating multimedia content support. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic, suggesting opportunities for improvement in compliance with standards such as WCAG. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the presence of VeriSign WHOIS data and HTTPS indicates a professionally managed infrastructure. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with room for modernization and enhanced performance tuning.
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.
