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

6 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Metso operates in the manufacturing and energy sectors, targeting industrial clients in aggregates, mining, and metals refining. Their business model is B2B, offering a broad portfolio of products, spare parts, lifecycle services, and digital solutions that leverage AI and cloud computing. The company maintains a strong global footprint with investor relations and sustainability initiatives prominently featured. Their marketing and analytics ecosystem includes Pardot, Salesforce, Amazon SES, Mailjet, and Hotjar, supporting extensive customer engagement and data-driven decision-making. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms. The domain registration data aligns with the corporate identity, reinforcing legitimacy. No suspicious patterns or privacy protection obfuscation were detected, indicating transparent operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates partial adherence to security best practices with several security headers configured, including HSTS (though disabled), X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and a Content Security Policy enforcing upgrade-insecure-requests. Cookies are set with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite attributes, enhancing session security. However, the lack of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and absence of HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No vulnerable protocols or cipher suites are detected, but this is due to the absence of SSL/TLS rather than secure configuration. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could hinder timely security issue management. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate remediation to enable HTTPS and improve resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to prevent downgrade attacks.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL/TLS performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to foster security transparency.
  5. Review and enhance privacy and data protection practices to maintain GDPR and other compliance standards.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers and Content Security Policy to cover all external resources.
  7. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support.
  8. Maintain and monitor analytics and marketing tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.
  9. Conduct periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and mitigate emerging threats.
  10. Enhance accessibility and mobile optimization to improve user experience across devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET with Vue.js frontend components, indicating a modern and scalable technology stack. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure, supported by Azure-specific headers. The site uses SVG graphics extensively for icons and logos, contributing to a visually consistent and scalable design. Analytics integration includes Microsoft Application Insights, Hotjar, and Maze, enabling comprehensive user behavior tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and CSS. However, performance metrics are unavailable, limiting assessment of load times and resource efficiency. The absence of SSL/TLS is a major technical deficiency. The site structure is well-organized with clear navigation menus and semantic HTML, supporting SEO and accessibility. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
