Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

Martin Lighting is a professional lighting brand operating under the HARMAN umbrella, specializing in advanced lighting solutions for architectural, entertainment, and creative markets. The website presents a comprehensive product catalog, news updates, and support resources, targeting industry professionals and technical consultants. The digital infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, leveraging popular JavaScript libraries, analytics, and marketing tools to deliver a fast, responsive, and user-friendly experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and CSRF protections, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. Privacy and terms policies are linked to the parent company, indicating corporate governance and compliance with GDPR. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the strong brand presence and professional content.

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 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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

Martin Lighting holds a strong market position in the professional lighting industry, supported by its parent company HARMAN. The business model focuses on manufacturing and selling high-end lighting equipment, supported by software tools, training, and customer service. The company targets professional users in entertainment, architectural lighting, and rental markets. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy protection. The brand ecosystem includes related domains for support, careers, and professional solutions, reinforcing a well-structured corporate presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF token usage in forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in security transparency. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts increases the attack surface but appears managed. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in security policy communication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with clear data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, jQuery UI, Foundation CSS framework, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and HubSpot, indicating advanced tracking and user engagement capabilities. The site is hosted on HARMAN's CDN infrastructure, ensuring fast load times and global availability. Mobile optimization and accessibility are excellent, with responsive design and ARIA roles. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and professional.
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.
