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

PKC Group Ltd is a large Finnish company specializing in the design, manufacture, and integration of electrical distribution systems and vehicle electronics primarily for the commercial vehicle and rolling stock industries. As part of the Motherson Group, PKC Group holds a strong market position with a global footprint and a comprehensive product portfolio including wire harnessing and ERP systems. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand identity targeting B2B customers in transportation and manufacturing sectors. Technically, the website uses a moderate tech stack with common JavaScript libraries and is mobile optimized, though accessibility and SEO could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or security policies. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism detected and only a basic privacy/legal notice page present. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and branding suggest a legitimate business presence. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could 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

5 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.

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

PKC Group operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, serving commercial vehicle and rolling stock manufacturers globally. Their business model focuses on B2B manufacturing and integration services, supported by ERP and new product introduction systems. The company benefits from being part of the larger Motherson Group, which provides brand strength and resource backing. The website indicates a mature business with a clear target audience and a broad product offering. However, the absence of detailed contact information and limited social media presence may restrict direct customer engagement. The company appears to maintain ethical standards with links to EthicsPoint and legal notices, supporting compliance and corporate responsibility. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital engagement and improving transparency around security and privacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected, and forms are minimal with no obvious insecure inputs. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak, with no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.11.1 and common UI libraries such as Slick Carousel, Select2, and Fancybox. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes hyphenation support for text. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though some legacy libraries could be updated for better security and performance. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or JSON-LD found. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the data. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
