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

1 finding 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Kemppi operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on welding technology and safety. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product range, strong emphasis on usability and reliability, and a global partner network covering over 70 countries. The business model combines product sales with digital solutions and services, including training and support. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, software subscriptions, and after-sales services. The target customers are industrial welding companies and individual welders requiring high-quality, reliable welding solutions. Growth indicators include recent product launches, active social media presence, and participation in industry events. Partnerships with companies like WeldEye and ABB Robotics enhance their technological ecosystem. The company is headquartered in Finland, employs over 650 professionals, and reported 209 MEUR revenue in 2023.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS enabled, but the SSL certificate is currently invalid, which poses a significant security risk. Security headers such as cache-control and vary are present, but additional headers like Content-Security-Policy are missing. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected. The site uses modern frameworks and CDNs, reducing exposure to common attacks. However, the lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption features indicates room for improvement. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires urgent SSL certificate renewal and enhancement of security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure the SSL/TLS certificate to ensure secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to increase transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, leveraging Contentful as the CMS and AWS CloudFront for content delivery. It uses modern web technologies and is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance metrics were not provided but inferred as moderate based on resource usage and CDN usage. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The site includes rich multimedia content, including videos and social media integrations, enhancing user engagement. There is some technical debt in SSL configuration and security headers that should be addressed to improve overall security and user trust.
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.
