Risk levelMedium

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

METALFORM™ is a well-established manufacturing company specializing in bespoke Nordic-inspired steel and glass architectural products including doors, windows, and partition walls. With over 20 years of experience serving clients across Europe, the company positions itself as a benchmark of quality and expertise in metal fabrication. The website reflects a professional digital presence built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, showcasing recent projects and product offerings effectively. However, the absence of visible contact emails, phone numbers, and privacy or cookie policies indicates areas for improvement in transparency and user engagement. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no obvious vulnerabilities, but security headers and incident response information are missing.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 both residential and commercial clients seeking high-quality bespoke steel and glass architectural solutions. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and direct client engagement through project showcases and quote requests. The presence of partner domains suggests a networked business ecosystem. The website's content and design quality support a medium-sized manufacturing entity with a strong market position in Europe. Growth indicators include active project updates and a professional online catalog. However, the lack of explicit contact details and compliance documentation may impact customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and modern WordPress security practices but lacks comprehensive security headers and published security policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The use of multiple third-party plugins necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. Absence of privacy and cookie policies may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancements in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Add visible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user communication.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and themes to minimize security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It leverages lazy loading for images and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is standard for a medium-sized manufacturing business website, with opportunities to enhance security and compliance features.
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.
