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. 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

The company targets a specialized market segment of scientific and engineering professionals requiring advanced test and measurement tools. Their business model combines hardware sales with software and cloud services, enabling recurring revenue streams. The use of HubSpot and detailed cookie consent indicates a focus on lead generation and marketing compliance. Partnerships with Stripe for payments and Cookiebot for privacy compliance reflect a mature operational ecosystem. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's founding date, supporting legitimacy. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via forms, typical for tech companies focusing on qualified leads. The company maintains active social media profiles on major platforms, enhancing brand visibility and trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforces clientTransferProhibited status on the domain to prevent unauthorized transfers. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, which could improve transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder, integrating modern web technologies such as Shoelace Web Components and TypeKit fonts. It leverages HubSpot for marketing automation, analytics, and contact forms, alongside Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for user behavior tracking. Hosting is provided by DreamHost, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, supporting the company's digital marketing and sales objectives effectively.
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.
