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

  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 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';…

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

Modelon operates in the industrial simulation software market, serving a diverse range of sectors including energy, transportation, and industrial equipment. Their business model focuses on B2B software sales, technology licensing, and professional services such as training and consulting. The company leverages open standards to differentiate itself and maintains a strong partnership ecosystem through social media and industry certifications like TISAX. Customer testimonials and detailed case studies indicate a positive reputation and effective client engagement. The website's content and structure support lead generation and customer education, reflecting a mature and strategic approach to market positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with consent mechanisms, aligning with privacy regulations. No direct security contact or incident response information is available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The presence of TISAX compliance information suggests attention to industry-specific security standards. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from explicit public security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy page with clear contact information.
  2. Provide a security contact email such as security@modelon.com or abuse@modelon.com for reporting issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency on data protection officer contact details and data retention policies.
  5. Maintain and publicize compliance with relevant security frameworks beyond TISAX, such as ISO 27001 or NIST.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with extensive use of JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Typed.js for dynamic content. It integrates advanced A/B testing and analytics tools such as Visual Website Optimizer, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and Nutshell, indicating a high level of digital maturity. The site is optimized for performance with preloading, caching, and responsive design techniques. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed through structured data (JSON-LD), Open Graph tags, and Yoast SEO plugin. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence, though hosting details are not explicitly stated. Continuous monitoring and optimization are evident from the scripts and performance tracking included.
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.
