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

Karpinski Engineering is a well-established professional engineering firm founded in 2004, specializing in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, technology systems, and related consulting services. The company targets organizations and design professionals across healthcare, education, corporate, hospitality, and community sectors. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern design, clear navigation, and mobile optimization. The technical infrastructure leverages Craft CMS and modern frontend libraries such as Swiper.js and Typekit fonts, indicating a contemporary technology stack. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection, and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with basic privacy standards, though explicit GDPR compliance and incident response information are lacking.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Karpinski Engineering holds a solid market position as a medium-sized regional engineering firm with a diverse service portfolio including MEP design, commissioning, fire protection, sustainability, and lighting design. Their business model focuses on integrated engineering services for high-performance environments. The company maintains active social media channels and provides educational offerings such as AIA CEU courses, indicating engagement with professional communities. The domain age and registration details support legitimacy and business continuity. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly displayed, relying instead on contact forms and social media for communication. The absence of terms of service and detailed privacy compliance documentation suggests areas for business process enhancement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and use of CSRF tokens in forms. The cookie consent banner is comprehensive, explaining necessary cookies and obtaining user consent. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security score is solid but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by linking a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service prominently on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Craft CMS, utilizing modern frontend technologies such as Swiper.js for interactive sliders and Typekit for typography. The site loads external CSS and JS from reputable CDNs, contributing to performance and reliability. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, with keyboard navigation support and responsive design. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing external dependencies and leveraging caching. The domain is registered with Network Solutions, LLC since 2004, indicating stable hosting and ownership. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected, suggesting good maintenance practices.
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.
