Security score

53/100

Risk levelMedium

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

ArcelorMittal Construction is a large, established manufacturing company specializing in steel-based building solutions for architectural projects, with a strong presence in Austria and multiple European markets. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive business offering, targeting construction professionals and project developers with a broad portfolio of products and services emphasizing sustainability and innovation. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, hosted behind Cloudflare, but suffers from a critical lack of valid SSL/TLS configuration, exposing users to security risks. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. The security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS, but other security headers and practices are present. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect users and maintain credibility.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 operates a B2B business model focused on manufacturing and supplying advanced steel construction materials and solutions. It leverages a strong brand (ArcelorMittal) and regional subsidiaries to maintain market leadership. The website links extensively to regional ArcelorMittal construction sites, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The business targets architects, builders, and construction firms seeking sustainable and innovative building materials. The presence of detailed product categories, project showcases, and support services indicates a mature and customer-focused approach. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functionality are present, consistent with a manufacturing and supply chain business. The company benefits from strong branding consistency and trust signals such as social media presence and corporate website links.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with implementation of several security headers including Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and HttpOnly cookies. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability that severely undermines the security posture. No advanced security policies or incident response contacts are found on the site. The use of Matomo analytics and cookie consent tools indicates awareness of privacy compliance. The site is not vulnerable to common SSL/TLS attacks due to lack of SSL but this also means data is transmitted insecurely. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate remediation to enable HTTPS and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Expand security policies to include incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Maintain and regularly update security headers and Content Security Policy to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern JavaScript stack including Algolia for search, Matomo for analytics, Mustache.js for templating, and FontAwesome for icons. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to lack of SSL and resource optimization. No common CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but present. The lack of SSL is a major technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but requires security and performance improvements.
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.
