Model Group is a Swiss-based large manufacturing company specializing in packaging solutions and services. Their website presents a professional and comprehensive overview of their offerings, including product packaging, transport packaging, promotional packaging, and e-commerce packaging.

Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained, with room for improvement in transparency of security and incident response information.

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. Their business model is B2B, serving diverse industries such as food, cosmetics, automotive, and logistics. The company emphasizes sustainability and innovation, as seen in their product offerings and knowledge base. They maintain an active online presence including an e-commerce shop and social media channels. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual for a company of this size and should be investigated further. Their market position appears strong with a broad service portfolio and a large operational scale. The website content supports a credible and established business with clear branding and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which is a potential area for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Cookie consent is implemented via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is noted. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and explicit security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance privacy transparency by detailing data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It integrates Google Custom Search, Google Analytics, Adobe DTM, and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting a comprehensive digital marketing and compliance setup. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
