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

LEAX Group AB is a Swedish manufacturing company specializing in CNC machining with over 40 years of experience. The company serves specialized industrial markets including commercial vehicles, passenger cars, mining, construction, agriculture, and general engineering. With manufacturing facilities across Sweden, Latvia, Germany, Hungary, and Brazil, LEAX offers a combination of proximity and cost efficiency to its customers. The website reflects a mature business with clear product and process information, targeting industrial clients. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common SEO and optimization plugins such as Yoast SEO and Autoptimize. It employs jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks for UI components and responsiveness. The site is mobile-optimized and includes structured data for enhanced SEO. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and caching optimizations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, LEAX.com is a professionally maintained corporate website with good content quality and privacy compliance. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by adding formal security policies and headers. The site effectively supports the company’s business objectives and market positioning.

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

9 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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 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"

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 Group operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on precision CNC machining for specialized markets. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing industry experience, diversified manufacturing footprint, and comprehensive process capabilities including machining, heat treatment, assembly, and surface treatment. The business model centers on B2B manufacturing supply with a focus on quality and cost efficiency. The company targets industrial sectors such as heavy commercial vehicles, passenger cars, agriculture, mining, and general engineering. The presence of an investor relations subdomain indicates a publicly listed or investor-focused entity. Growth indicators include international manufacturing sites and a clear sustainability policy. The company maintains active social media channels to support brand and investor communications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented to comply with privacy regulations. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which is a gap in best practices. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency for security concerns. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with common plugins like Yoast SEO and Autoptimize, indicating a standard modern web infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend interactivity and responsiveness. Lazy loading of images and caching are implemented to improve performance. The site is mobile-optimized and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is typical for corporate websites, balancing ease of management with SEO and user experience considerations.
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.
