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

MATA is a Vietnam-based manufacturing company specializing in masterbatch production, including color, white, black, transparent, special effect, additive masterbatch, and plastic compounding. The company positions itself as a leading player in the masterbatch industry with a medium-sized operation founded in 2015. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, featuring modern technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrated analytics and live chat tools. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information and certifications, notably ISO 9001:2015. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and missing WHOIS domain registration data present compliance and trust concerns. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and secure forms but lacks security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is credible and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and domain legitimacy verification.

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.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

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

MATA operates in the manufacturing sector, targeting businesses requiring masterbatch and plastic additives. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive product range and ISO certification. The business model focuses on B2B sales with a clear emphasis on quality and innovation. The company maintains partnerships with several industry players, as evidenced by customer logos on the site. Growth indicators include a professional online presence and product diversification. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and compounding services. Strategic observations suggest the company should improve transparency around privacy and domain registration to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure contact forms protected by Akismet spam filtering. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS registrant data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risk. Overall, the security posture is adequate for business operations but requires improvements to meet higher compliance standards and trust expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, leveraging jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site loads moderately fast with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The site uses Tawk.to for live chat support, indicating customer engagement focus. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but security header implementation and privacy compliance are areas for technical improvement.
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.
