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

RK Kutting is a medium-sized, family-owned manufacturing company specializing in fluid technology solutions, including hoses, fittings, and custom products tailored for various industrial applications. The company positions itself as a quality and innovation-focused supplier serving B2B clients in manufacturing and related sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting industrial customers. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform and employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI libraries. Hosting is provided by 1und1, and the site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Analytics usage is moderate with Google Analytics tracking, disclosed properly in the cookie policy. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. The risk profile is low, with recommendations to enhance security headers and publish security policies to further strengthen the security posture.

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

2 findings 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.

    • 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

  2. 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

RK Kutting operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on fluid technology components. Its business model centers on B2B sales of standard and custom hose and fitting products, supported by logistics and testing services. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable fluid solutions. The website indicates a stable market position as a family-owned business emphasizing quality and innovation. The presence of a UK subsidiary (Kutting UK Ltd.) suggests international reach. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers like Cookiebot and Google for compliance and analytics. No direct competitors or revenue data are disclosed, but the professional web presence and comprehensive product offerings indicate a mature business with growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. Security headers are minimal, with only X-UA-Compatible detected, suggesting room for improvement by adding CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and other headers. No incident response or security policy pages are published, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposure were found in the HTML content. Third-party scripts are limited to trusted providers. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system. It uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Flexslider, and Select2 to provide a responsive and interactive user experience. Hosting is managed by 1und1, as indicated by the nameservers. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, some asynchronously, which helps performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and a mobile menu. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical URLs, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing asset sizes and leveraging caching. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support.
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.
