Perkins is a globally recognized manufacturer of diesel and gas engines, providing reliable power solutions across various industries including industrial, marine, and electric power sectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and a focus on sustainability and advanced power solutions. Technically, the site leverages Adobe Experience Manager as its CMS, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and employs OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance awareness. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking visible security headers or explicit security policies in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable gap, though the website content and branding strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is safe, business-focused, and well-structured, serving a large enterprise audience.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      HSTS Not Enabled

      HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is not configured

      What to do: Configure HSTS with: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

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

Perkins operates as a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., targeting industrial and commercial customers requiring power solutions. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing engines and related power products, supported by a global dealer network. The website content emphasizes sustainability and innovation, aligning with market trends towards renewable fuels and energy transition. The presence of a dedicated distributor locator domain indicates a structured partner ecosystem. While direct contact information is not evident in the provided content, the site maintains professional branding and marketing tools, supporting strong market positioning and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security practices such as HTTPS usage and cookie consent management via OneTrust. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected in the HTML content, and no visible security or incident response policies are present. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Provide visible contact information for security incidents and data protection officer details.
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is accurate and publicly accessible or justified by privacy protection policies.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, supporting responsive design and multi-language capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Performance appears moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to improve overall site security and trustworthiness.
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.
