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

Link S.r.l. is a mature Italian company founded in 1998, specializing in the distribution and e-commerce of cables, connectors, accessories, distribution systems, and sanitization products. The company serves diverse sectors including entertainment, civil, military, and heavy industry, with a medium-sized international presence supported by subsidiaries in the USA, UK, and France. The website reflects a professional e-commerce platform with a focus on B2B and B2C sales, supported by modern web technologies and active social media engagement. Technically, the website uses a custom or Quista-based CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap 5, and GSAP. However, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Performance data is missing, but the site appears to have moderate mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but present with meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS is a major vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception. Other security best practices like HSTS, DNSSEC, and domain protection locks are not implemented. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. The company displays multiple certifications and trust indicators, enhancing business credibility. Overall, while the business and website demonstrate professionalism and maturity, the lack of HTTPS significantly impacts security posture and trustworthiness. Strategic improvements in SSL implementation and domain security are recommended to align with industry best practices and protect customer data.

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';…

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

Link operates in a competitive niche of cable and connector distribution with a diversified product portfolio and international subsidiaries, indicating a well-established market position. The business model leverages e-commerce for direct sales and distribution, targeting professional sectors such as entertainment, civil infrastructure, military, and heavy industry. Partnerships with recognized technology and accessory providers enhance its product offerings. The company’s growth is supported by a multi-country presence and active marketing through social media and press releases. Revenue streams likely include product sales, technical support, and possibly custom solutions. The website’s structured content and certifications support a trustworthy brand image, although technical and security improvements could further strengthen market confidence.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is currently weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability exposing user data to interception and undermining trust. While some security headers and HttpOnly cookies are set, essential protections like HSTS, DNSSEC, and CAA records are missing. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, and no security.txt file is present. The domain lacks protection locks, increasing risk of unauthorized changes. Privacy compliance is adequate with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate remediation of SSL and domain security is necessary to mitigate risks and comply with modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security.
  4. Add a security.txt file detailing incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  5. Enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain modifications.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for better user experience and search ranking.
  8. Improve website performance metrics and monitor loading times.
  9. Expand privacy and data protection disclosures, including data retention policies.
  10. Maintain consistent branding and update content regularly to reflect company developments.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an Apache server using a custom or Quista CMS platform with extensive use of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Masonry, GSAP TweenMax, and DataTables for dynamic content and UI enhancements. Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for bot protection. The site uses asynchronous loading for some scripts and includes social media SDKs and tracking pixels. Despite modern front-end technologies, the lack of HTTPS and zero performance metrics indicate technical debt and potential risks. The hosting provider is Register.it, with DNS managed by ns1.register.it and ns2.register.it. The domain is mature and well-registered but lacks DNSSEC and domain protection. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a functional e-commerce platform but requires security and performance upgrades.
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.
