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

Partel is a medium-sized Irish company specializing in building envelope solutions, including high-performance airtight membranes, tapes, adhesives, sealants, and ventilation systems tailored for the low-energy building sector. The company targets construction professionals and businesses focused on energy-efficient building practices in Ireland. The website reflects a professional B2B business model with a clear focus on product offerings and market positioning within the energy sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and HubSpot, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, demonstrating attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of visible privacy policy, terms of service, and contact information pages, along with missing WHOIS data, limits the overall trust and compliance posture. Recommendations include publishing privacy and security policies, adding security headers, and providing clear contact and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

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

4 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. 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

Partel operates in the energy-efficient building materials sector in Ireland, focusing on airtight membranes and ventilation systems. The company appears well-positioned within the Irish construction market, serving professionals seeking sustainable building solutions. Its business model is primarily B2B, supplying specialized products to contractors and builders. The website's integration with marketing platforms like HubSpot and Google Ads suggests active lead generation and customer engagement strategies. The lack of detailed company registration and contact information online may be an area for improvement to boost credibility. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found. The company’s digital presence is consistent and professionally branded, supporting its market position as a specialized supplier in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism that allows granular user control over cookie categories. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for compliance and trust. The missing WHOIS data prevents verification of domain registration legitimacy, which is a risk factor. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a commercial website but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining updated software.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add clear contact information including phone numbers, emails, and physical address to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact details to demonstrate preparedness and compliance.
  5. Obtain and maintain accurate WHOIS domain registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution for content management and visual presentation. The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and HubSpot tracking. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. The site uses Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Performance is moderate with some optimization such as lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content.
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.
