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

Penta-Tec is a specialized provider of CNC control software and hardware solutions, offering an all-in-one CAD, CAM, and CNC machine operation package tailored for machine and plant builders in the CNC sector. The company targets both beginners and professionals, emphasizing flexibility and ease of use. Their market position is that of a niche player with over 25 years of expertise, providing customized solutions that balance standardization and individualization. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and GDPR-compliant privacy practices. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern theme and plugins, including Yoast SEO and Google Analytics integration with IP anonymization. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, and basic best practices are followed, but explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain may not be registered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website presence. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is safe for general audiences. Overall, the website scores well in content quality and privacy compliance but is penalized for missing WHOIS data and incomplete security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration, enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and improving accessibility compliance to strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 27 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Penta-Tec operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on CNC software and hardware solutions for machine builders. Their competitive advantage lies in offering an integrated all-in-one solution combining CAD, CAM, and CNC control, appealing to a broad range of users from novices to experts. The business model is B2B, providing software modules, hardware control systems, commissioning support, and training services. The company maintains partnerships, as indicated by references and partner logos, and leverages digital marketing tools like Google Analytics. Growth indicators include active news updates and training offerings. However, the lack of transparent domain registration data could impact credibility. The company appears to be a small-sized entity based in Austria, targeting a specialized market niche with a focus on quality and customization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and anonymized analytics tracking. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that could mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Improve website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme and several plugins such as Yoast SEO, Essential Grid, and LayerSlider. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with IP anonymization for user tracking. The site uses Adobe Fonts for typography and is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors detected in the HTML or scripts. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites, offering flexibility and ease of content management. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks and improve user experience.
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.
