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

KEYENCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA operates a comprehensive and professionally designed website focused on industrial automation products including sensors, machine vision systems, and measuring instruments. The company is positioned as a leading enterprise in the manufacturing and technology sectors, targeting industrial and factory automation professionals. The website demonstrates strong branding, clear navigation, and extensive product information, supported by a mature domain and consistent WHOIS data. Technically, the site uses Apache server technology, jQuery, and Akamai CDN, with modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, significantly impacting the security posture score. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, reflecting good compliance with GDPR standards. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but urgently requires SSL implementation to enhance security and user trust.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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

  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 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

The company maintains a strong market position as a global leader in factory automation and sensing technologies, offering a wide range of products and solutions tailored to various industries such as automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. The business model is B2B, focusing on direct sales and support services. The website supports this with detailed product catalogs, certified models, and multiple contact channels including phone and inquiry forms. The presence of certifications like CE, UL, CSA, and FDA accession further strengthens credibility. The company leverages a global network with localized domains and social media presence to engage its target audience effectively. The mature domain age and consistent registration data indicate a stable and legitimate business operation.

Security posture

While the website includes several important security headers such as X-XSS-Protection, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a critical vulnerability. This exposes users to potential interception and undermines trust in the site. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the absence of HTTPS is a major compliance and security issue. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Implementing SSL/TLS and improving cryptographic configurations are immediate priorities to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit security headers and configurations to adhere to best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Apache servers with Akamai CDN integration and uses jQuery 3.4.1 for client-side scripting. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are employed for analytics and cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance data is not available, but the use of CDN and asynchronous script loading suggests moderate to good performance. The absence of a CMS or framework is not explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary platform. Technical improvements could focus on SSL/TLS deployment and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
