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

Link S.r.l. is a mature Italian company established in 1998 specializing in the distribution and e-commerce of cables, connectors, accessories, and sanitization products. The company operates internationally with subsidiaries in the USA, UK, and France, serving diverse sectors including entertainment, civil, military, and heavy industry. Their business model focuses on B2B distribution and online sales, supported by recognized certifications such as ISO 9001-2015 and Dante level 3. The website reflects a professional presence with good content quality and consistent branding, targeting industry professionals and corporate clients. Technically, the website uses a custom or proprietary CMS platform with modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Bootstrap 5, and GSAP for UI effects. However, performance is slow and SEO and accessibility are basic. The hosting is managed via Register SPA with Apache server. The site lacks a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement, which is a critical security gap. Privacy and cookie policies are present and reasonably comprehensive, indicating some GDPR compliance. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS, lack of HSTS, DNSSEC, and domain protection locks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published. The site uses Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, with moderate user tracking. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and mature, supporting legitimacy, but security improvements are urgently needed. Strategic recommendations include implementing a valid SSL certificate, enabling HSTS and DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing performance and accessibility to improve user 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

8 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

      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"

    • 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';…

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

Link S.r.l. holds a strong market position as a specialized distributor in the manufacturing and technology sectors, with a focus on cables and connectors for professional applications. Their competitive advantage lies in their international subsidiaries, recognized certifications, and diversified product portfolio including sanitization solutions. The business model leverages e-commerce combined with direct distribution to B2B clients in entertainment, civil, military, and heavy industry sectors. Growth indicators include recent acquisitions and expansion into new markets such as the UK. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Auvitran and Extreme Networks. The company maintains a professional digital presence but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security to support further growth.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The lack of HSTS, DNSSEC, and domain protection locks further weakens domain security. No published security policies or incident response contacts reduce transparency and preparedness. While no critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the missing HTTPS is a critical issue. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with privacy and cookie policies present but no explicit incident response or data protection officer information. The use of HttpOnly cookies and absence of vulnerable libraries are positive aspects. Overall, the security posture requires urgent improvements to protect customer data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide immediately.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Configure DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent unauthorized certificate issuance.
  4. Publish a security.txt file with clear incident response contacts and procedures.
  5. Enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  6. Improve website performance by optimizing resources and leveraging caching.
  7. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.
  8. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an Apache server with a custom or proprietary CMS platform, likely Quista, integrating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Masonry, GSAP TweenMax, and DataTables for UI and data presentation. Google reCAPTCHA is used for bot protection. The site loads external resources from CDNs including jsDelivr and Google Fonts. Despite modern tech usage, performance metrics indicate slow loading and zero resource/page size data suggests incomplete performance monitoring. The site lacks HTTPS due to an invalid SSL certificate, which is a critical technical deficiency. SEO is basic with meta tags and JSON-LD structured data present but no Open Graph tags detected. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. Hosting is managed by Register SPA with no DNSSEC or domain protection enabled, indicating technical debt in security infrastructure.
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.
