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

8 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 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Prolec operates in the construction safety technology niche, leveraging partnerships and customer technology collaborations to enhance its product offerings. The business model is B2B, targeting construction firms and safety managers seeking integrated safety solutions. The company benefits from its parent company Kinshofer Group's reputation, which likely supports market trust and operational stability. Revenue streams are presumably derived from product sales and technology partnerships. The website's content and structured data indicate a focus on innovation and customer engagement, with active social media channels supporting brand visibility. Growth indicators include multimedia marketing and a support help center, suggesting ongoing customer service investment. Strategic observations highlight the importance of resolving domain registration inconsistencies to reinforce credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, reflecting GDPR awareness. Anti-spam measures via CleanTalk are active, reducing risk from automated threats. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of explicit security or incident response policies on the website limits transparency regarding the company's security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with recommendations to strengthen header policies and publish security frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance with data protection regulations.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure WHOIS data availability and improve domain legitimacy trust.
  4. Develop and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels to demonstrate security readiness and accountability.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain a secure technology stack.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Breakdance theme builder, enhanced with LiteSpeed caching for performance optimization. It incorporates jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The presence of CleanTalk anti-spam plugin indicates proactive spam mitigation. The site loads multimedia content including videos and images optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by All in One SEO Pro plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, improving search engine visibility. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential dependency on third-party scripts that require monitoring.
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.
