Risk levelLow

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

Linde in India operates as a subsidiary of Linde plc, a global leader in industrial gases and engineering solutions. The website serves as a corporate portal targeting industrial clients in India, showcasing Linde's presence and offerings in the energy sector. The business model focuses on B2B services supplying industrial gases and engineering expertise. The site reflects a strong market position with consistent branding and enterprise-level scale. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and monitoring tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Application Insights, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The use of HTTPS and security headers demonstrates a good security baseline, although some areas like accessibility and privacy compliance could be improved. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, supporting good user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes key security headers, reducing common web vulnerabilities. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of visible contact information for security incidents, represents compliance and transparency gaps. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and clearer contact channels to improve compliance and user trust. Strategic improvements in these areas will strengthen the security posture and regulatory alignment.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

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

Linde India is positioned as an essential entity within the global Linde plc group, focusing on industrial gases and engineering services in the Indian market. The company targets industrial and commercial sectors requiring gases and related solutions. The business model is B2B, with revenue streams likely from long-term supply contracts and engineering projects. The website indicates a large enterprise scale with consistent branding and global corporate backing. The absence of detailed subsidiary or partner domain links suggests a focused market approach. The use of advanced analytics and monitoring tools reflects a data-driven operational strategy. Growth indicators include active digital presence and integration with global monitoring services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of Microsoft Application Insights and Google Analytics indicates active monitoring and telemetry. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance indicators are missing, which could be a concern given the global nature of the parent company. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving user-facing security communications.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, and Kaltura video player, indicating a robust digital infrastructure. The HTML includes preloading of fonts and optimized meta tags for SEO. Security headers are properly configured, and HTTPS is enforced. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation clarity. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce regulatory and reputational risks.
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.
