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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  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

Model Group operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on packaging solutions across multiple industries such as food, cosmetics, automotive, and logistics. Their business model combines product manufacturing with value-added services including consulting and logistics. The company targets B2B customers requiring tailored packaging solutions and sustainability-oriented products. The presence of a dedicated online shop domain indicates diversified revenue streams. Social media engagement and content marketing (e.g., Model Young Package) support brand positioning and customer engagement. The lack of detailed WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or recent domain registration, which should be monitored. The company is part of MODEL HOLDING AG, indicating a structured corporate group.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. It uses reputable analytics and tag management tools from Adobe and Google. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are published, which could hinder transparency and incident management readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Monitor domain WHOIS status regularly to ensure registration consistency and legitimacy.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by maintaining up-to-date cookie consent and data protection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, integrating Adobe Launch for tag management and Google Analytics for user tracking. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and widgets for accessibility and user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and image optimization. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a large manufacturing business.
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.
