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

Norstat Industrial Safety, Automation and Connectivity Solution is a specialized provider of safety, automation, and connectivity products for the industrial marketplace. Their offerings include safety controllers, light curtains, safety interlocks, non-contact safety switches, safety relays, and signaling devices. The company operates a WordPress-based e-commerce website using WooCommerce and the Avada theme, supported by various plugins including CleanTalk for anti-spam and Google Analytics for tracking. The domain is well-established since 1996, consistent with the company's business history, and uses Cloudflare DNS services. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and anti-spam measures in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

8 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Norstat targets industrial clients requiring safety and automation solutions, positioning itself as a niche supplier in manufacturing sectors. The business model is B2B focused on product distribution and support. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a consistent brand presence. The company leverages standard web technologies and third-party services for analytics and security. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The lack of explicit contact information and policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable DNS and registrar services, with clientTransferProhibited status enhancing domain security. Anti-spam and bot detection plugins are active, indicating some security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies represents gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking GDPR-related disclosures or consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including an incident response or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and the Avada theme, a common and mature platform for e-commerce. It uses jQuery and several plugins for gallery management and anti-spam. Hosting and DNS are managed via reputable providers, including Cloudflare for DNS. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking but lacks visible cookie consent. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to improve security and compliance.
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.
