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. 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 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. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Polythink operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on custom packaging prototyping. Its business model revolves around providing expert services including workshops, R&D, and production guides. The company leverages a digital presence optimized for SEO and user experience, targeting business clients globally. The use of LinkedIn as a social media channel supports professional networking. The absence of explicit privacy and terms policies suggests room for maturity in compliance documentation. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The website content and structure suggest a stable, professional operation with a clear service portfolio and market niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes with detailed categories, supporting user privacy and GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response plan.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information by adding verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a child theme and uses modern plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Hotjar, providing user behavior insights. Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance appears fast with preconnect and preload optimizations. No hosting provider details were found, but the presence of CDN-cookieyes and Google services indicates a distributed infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and well-executed with opportunities to improve security headers and formal documentation.
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.
