Security score

82/100

Risk levelLow

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

Getriebebau NORD GmbH & Co. KG operates the website www.nord.com, presenting itself as a leading global supplier of mechanical and electronic drive technology solutions including gear motors, industrial gear units, electric motors, and frequency inverters. The company targets a broad industrial audience with a strong B2B focus, emphasizing product competitiveness and energy efficiency. The website supports multiple languages, indicating a global market presence. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers are not explicitly detected and no dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and business credibility, though the website content and branding are professional and consistent with a legitimate enterprise. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, but business credibility is slightly impacted by missing WHOIS 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

2 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 is positioned as a large manufacturing and technology entity specializing in drive systems and related components. Its business model is primarily B2B, serving industrial sectors requiring mechanical and electronic drive solutions. The website's multilingual support and global domain presence suggest a broad international customer base. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools such as Hubspot and Google Analytics to engage customers and optimize marketing efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes related service domains like shop.nord.com and login.nord.com, indicating integrated e-commerce and user management platforms. The lack of explicit contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on established business relationships rather than direct consumer sales. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, aligning with GDPR requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that informs users about data sharing, including with US-based providers. Security best practices such as secure session cookies and avoidance of exposed sensitive data are observed. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, as well as missing published security policies or incident response contacts, represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the analyzed content. The site’s privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned consent mechanisms. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain transparency but does not directly impact the technical security posture of the website.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  4. Increase visibility of direct contact information on the website to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain transparency and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks like Bootstrap. It uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics integration. The site loads web fonts in WOFF2 format for performance optimization and supports multiple languages with hreflang tags for SEO. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of key assets. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Some technical debt is indicated by missing explicit security headers and limited accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a large industrial company.
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.
