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

Primalab d.o.o. is a Slovenian company specializing in the sales and service of laboratory and process equipment. Their offerings include high precision instruments for chemical and physical analysis, complemented by calibration, validation, professional training, and maintenance services. The company targets laboratories, pilot plants, and production facilities, positioning itself as a trusted regional partner with established supplier relationships such as Metrohm and Lauda. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear contact information and GDPR compliance, supporting customer engagement through newsletters and service inquiries. Technically, the site is built on the DotNetNuke CMS platform, utilizing common JavaScript libraries and Bootstrap for responsive design, delivering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacking explicit security headers and containing hidden spammy links that could impact SEO and trust. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification, but the overall business credibility remains intact based on website content and contact details. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, removing suspicious hidden links, and improving transparency around domain registration.

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 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 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

Primalab operates in the manufacturing and laboratory equipment sector, focusing on providing comprehensive solutions including sales, service, and training. Their business model revolves around partnerships with reputable suppliers and delivering value-added services to industrial and laboratory clients. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with a localized market focus in Slovenia and surrounding regions. The presence of multiple language versions of the site indicates an intent to serve a broader regional audience. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Mailchimp for newsletters and Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. However, the presence of hidden spam links suggests some SEO manipulation attempts that could harm reputation. No evidence of certifications or formal security policies was found, indicating potential areas for business process improvement. Overall, Primalab maintains a professional image with opportunities to strengthen its digital trust and compliance posture.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. The presence of hidden spammy links in the footer is a significant concern, potentially exposing the site to SEO penalties and reputational damage. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which limits transparency and preparedness for security events. The lack of WHOIS data further complicates trust assessment. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in headers, transparency, and removal of suspicious content to enhance resilience and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Remove hidden spammy links from the footer to prevent SEO penalties and maintain brand reputation.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security posture.
  4. Ensure WHOIS information is complete and consistent with business identity to enhance domain trust.
  5. Regularly update CMS and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the DotNetNuke CMS platform, leveraging jQuery, jQuery UI, and Bootstrap for UI and interactivity. It uses EasyDNNNews for news management and Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The presence of multiple CSS and JS files indicates a somewhat complex front-end architecture. No hosting provider details were identified. The site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics tracking. Technical risks include outdated or missing security headers and hidden spam links that could affect SEO and security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small business but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
