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

Iberica - Indústria de Componentes Metálicos S.A. is a medium-sized manufacturing company based in Portugal, specializing in steel and aluminum components for electric vehicles, automotive, and motorcycle industries, as well as producing bicycles for bike sharing services. Founded in 1964, Iberica has established itself as an internationally recognized supplier with a strong focus on quality and innovation. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear descriptions of its business areas, technology capabilities, and commitment to quality manufacturing. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and Elementor, with integrations for Google Analytics and cookie consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy and cookie consent but no explicit GDPR data retention details or data protection officer contact. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and enhanced privacy compliance would further strengthen its posture.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Iberica operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on metal components for electric vehicles, automotive, and motorcycles, targeting manufacturers and bike sharing service providers. The company leverages its long history and technical expertise to maintain a competitive position internationally. Its business model centers on quality-driven manufacturing and innovation, supported by a skilled workforce and integrated production systems. The website content and structure indicate a mature business with clear market positioning and client focus. Partnerships and certifications are implied but not explicitly detailed online. Growth indicators include continuous improvement projects and participation in industry events. The company maintains a professional digital presence but could enhance transparency around certifications and partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), published security policies, and incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. The contact form collects personal data with explicit consent, indicating awareness of data protection requirements. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of advanced security controls and incident response information suggests room for improvement in security culture and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is basic but could be enhanced with clearer data retention and DPO information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize security risks and technical debt.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap framework and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It uses common libraries such as jQuery and Font Awesome, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, there is no explicit hosting provider information. The use of multiple plugins for forms, cookie notices, and analytics suggests a reliance on third-party tools which should be regularly audited for security and performance. Overall, the technical stack supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility improvements.
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.
