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

PWG Ireland operates as a B2B supplier and manufacturer of water treatment products serving residential, commercial, and industrial markets. It is part of the Pollet Water Group, a recognized European leader in water treatment solutions. The website provides detailed product information and technical documentation, targeting water treatment professionals. The digital infrastructure is based on the Weebly/EditMySite platform, leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics. While the site is functional and professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, it uses outdated JavaScript libraries and lacks explicit security headers and incident response policies, which may expose it to security risks. Privacy and cookie policies are present but basic, linked through the parent company domain. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with room for security and compliance improvements.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

  3. 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';…

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

PWG Ireland benefits from its association with the Pollet Water Group, enhancing its market credibility and access to a broad product portfolio. The company focuses on water treatment professionals, offering a range of products including softeners, filtration systems, reverse osmosis, and related components. The business model is primarily B2B, emphasizing product supply and technical support. The website's content and navigation reflect a structured approach to customer engagement, although direct contact details are limited to a contact form. The use of a third-party CMS and CDN suggests a cost-effective digital strategy. There is no evidence of direct e-commerce functionality, indicating a possible reliance on offline sales or partner channels. The absence of social media links and limited transparency in registrant data suggest a conservative digital marketing approach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard tracking tools but lacks advanced security measures such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and updated JavaScript libraries, notably using jQuery 1.8.3, which is known to have vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and there is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. These gaps indicate a moderate security posture with potential exposure to common web threats. The absence of contact channels for security incidents reduces incident response readiness. Recommendations include upgrading libraries, implementing security headers, and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by integrating a consent mechanism for cookies and updating privacy policies to reflect GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weebly/EditMySite platform, using a combination of legacy and modern web technologies. It includes Google Analytics and Snowplow for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized with a clear navigation structure and consistent branding. However, the use of outdated jQuery 1.8.3 introduces technical debt and security risks. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by CDN usage and external scripts. SEO is basic with standard meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
