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

Embraco is a globally recognized manufacturer and technology provider specializing in refrigeration solutions for residential and commercial markets. As part of Nidec Global Appliance, Embraco offers a broad portfolio including compressors, condensing units, and integrated electronic components, supported by active content such as blogs, videos, and technical resources targeting refrigeration professionals worldwide. The website demonstrates a solid market position with consistent branding and professional content aimed at industry stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Ajax Search Lite, ensuring good SEO and user experience. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS, though some security headers are missing. The presence of marketing tools like RD Station indicates active user engagement and lead generation efforts. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, but the professional presentation and known brand association mitigate concerns. Overall, the website is a well-maintained digital asset supporting Embraco's business objectives, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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 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 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

  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 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

Embraco operates as a key player in the refrigeration manufacturing sector, leveraging its parent company Nidec Global Appliance to maintain a global footprint. The company targets refrigeration professionals, wholesalers, and manufacturers, providing both products and technical support. Its business model focuses on innovation and integrated solutions, as evidenced by recent product launches and technical content. The website's active blog and video content reflect ongoing engagement with industry trends and customer education. Partnerships and social media presence reinforce its market reach. The lack of direct contact details on the site suggests a controlled communication channel, likely managed through forms and marketing automation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web attacks. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy and consent checkboxes on forms, but no cookie consent banner is present. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Contact Form 7 for form management, and Ajax Search Lite for enhanced search functionality. It uses jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive UI elements and Google Fonts for typography. The site loads scripts asynchronously and includes marketing integrations such as RD Station. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the content. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, supporting SEO and social sharing. Opportunities exist to improve technical security and privacy compliance.
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.
