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

MatrikonOPC Inc. is a well-established technology company specializing in OPC UA and OPC-based data interoperability products for industrial automation. With a domain age dating back to 2003, the company offers a broad portfolio of products including OPC servers, data brokers, adapters, and training services aimed at industrial clients and system integrators. Their market position is strong within the OPC interoperability niche, supported by a consistent brand presence and multilingual localized sites. Technically, the website is built on legacy ASP.NET WebForms technology enhanced with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager.

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

1 finding 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MatrikonOPC operates in the technology sector focused on industrial automation and manufacturing. Their business model revolves around product sales of OPC servers and related software, complemented by training and support services. The company targets industrial automation professionals, OEMs, and enterprises adopting IIoT solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their vendor-neutral approach and extensive product suite supporting OPC UA migration and interoperability. The presence of localized partner domains indicates a global reach. The company maintains active social media channels and a blog, supporting customer engagement and brand visibility. The domain registration and website content are consistent, reinforcing business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare DNS/CDN usage. The implementation of a cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests limited formal incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms, a mature but older web framework, combined with modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting behind Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS services but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity for DNS security. Performance is moderate with some legacy code evident. The site includes cookie consent scripts from OneTrust, indicating some compliance with privacy laws. There is room for modernization in technology stack and improvements in SEO, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness to reduce technical debt and enhance operational resilience.
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.
