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

Krytox™ Lubricants is a specialized brand offering high-performance lubricants designed for extreme industrial conditions, serving sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. The brand operates under the parent company Chemours and positions itself as a leader in durable and sustainable lubricant solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive product and industry information, supported by modern analytics and consent management technologies. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not published. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable gap but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the strong brand association and professional web presence. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance trust and compliance.

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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 targets industrial and manufacturing clients requiring specialized lubricants for harsh environments. Krytox™ leverages its parent company Chemours' reputation and resources, focusing on B2B sales and technical support. The website's structured data and social media presence reinforce brand credibility. The product portfolio is diverse, covering aerospace, automotive, and chemical processing industries, indicating a broad market reach. The use of advanced analytics and cookie consent tools suggests compliance with privacy regulations and a data-driven marketing approach. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is unusual but may be due to privacy or registry issues. Overall, Krytox™ maintains a strong market position with clear growth potential in sustainable industrial lubricants.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and no exposed sensitive information. The use of Microsoft Application Insights and Google Tag Manager is well integrated, with cookie consent mechanisms in place indicating GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No security contact emails or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS data absence raises minor concerns about domain registration transparency but does not indicate immediate risk. Recommendations include publishing security policies and establishing formal incident response contacts to improve security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and accurate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience, though opportunities exist to improve transparency around security and compliance frameworks.
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.
