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

Smart Weighing Technology Partner operates as a specialized B2B provider of high-performance weighing, packing, and automation solutions primarily targeting industries such as food processing, fresh produce, fragrances, cannabis, and cosmetics. The company positions itself as a technology partner delivering measurable ROI through labor reduction and productivity maximization. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a professional digital presence leveraging WordPress CMS and modern web technologies. The technical infrastructure includes integration with multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and security, indicating a mature digital marketing and operational approach. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, bot protection mechanisms, and comprehensive cookie consent management, although some security headers and explicit incident response policies could be improved. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-structured, and compliant with GDPR, but lacks visible direct contact information and terms of service documentation. The WHOIS data for the exact domain queried is unavailable due to it being a subdomain or alias, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract from the professional presentation and business legitimacy.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  2. 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 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 operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on smart weighing and automation solutions. Its business model is B2B, serving high-volume industrial clients. The presence of multiple related domains and partners suggests a broader corporate group or ecosystem. The company leverages advanced marketing tools such as Salesforce Pardot and Poptin for lead generation and retargeting, indicating a sophisticated marketing strategy. The website content and metadata emphasize measurable ROI and productivity, appealing to operational decision-makers in target industries. The lack of explicit contact details on the homepage may indicate a preference for lead capture through forms or partner channels. The company appears well-positioned in its niche with a consistent brand and good digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of bot detection technologies like Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with detailed cookie declarations, supporting GDPR compliance. Session management and nonce verification cookies enhance security for user interactions. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  4. Ensure all cookies, especially session and authentication cookies, have Secure and HttpOnly flags set.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.9.4 with a child theme and uses Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization. It incorporates Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery 3.7.1 for scripting. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security services. The site integrates multiple third-party services including Vimeo for video content, Google Analytics and Piwik Pro for analytics, Salesforce Pardot for marketing automation, and Zoho SalesIQ for chat support. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with granular control. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
