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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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 holds a strong market position in manufacturing access and safety technology, leveraging its long history and quality standards as competitive advantages. Its business model focuses on product manufacturing combined with value-added services like training and inspections. The website supports multiple regional domains indicating a broad geographic footprint. The presence of detailed product catalogs, safety tips, and downloadable resources suggests a customer-centric approach targeting industrial clients and safety professionals. The company maintains active social media channels enhancing its marketing and customer engagement. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionalities are evident on this site, indicating a B2B sales model likely supported by distributors or direct sales teams.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational website but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance with evolving standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend responsiveness and interactivity. It uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over mainstream trackers. The site loads multiple compressed CSS and JS assets, indicating optimization efforts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and language selection menus. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset delivery. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information but appears professionally maintained. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation enhancements.
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.
