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

LEAX Group AB is a Swedish CNC machining company with over 40 years of manufacturing experience, serving specialized markets including heavy commercial vehicles, passenger cars, agriculture, mining, construction, and general engineering. The company operates multiple manufacturing facilities across Sweden, Latvia, Germany, Hungary, and Brazil, enabling a balance of proximity and cost efficiency for its customers. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging WordPress with SEO and performance optimizations. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance in mind, and social media channels support brand engagement. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain www.leax.com is a notable anomaly that warrants further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy.

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

6 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

LEAX positions itself as a precision manufacturing partner for highly specialized industrial sectors, focusing on quality and reliability. Its multi-national manufacturing footprint supports diverse customer needs, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with a solid market position. The business model centers on supplying precision components and assemblies, supported by a clear product and process portfolio. Investor relations and career pages indicate organizational maturity and growth orientation. The company’s digital ecosystem includes localized sites and a sustainability focus, aligning with modern industrial trends.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting recognized frameworks and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain trust and transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Autoptimize, using jQuery and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a corporate manufacturing website, but security hardening and accessibility enhancements are recommended.
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.
