Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

RHI Magnesita is a global leader in the refractory industry, providing high-grade refractory products, systems, and services primarily for steel, cement, glass, and non-ferrous metals industries. The company emphasizes sustainability and innovation, targeting industrial clients worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, structured data, and multi-language support. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement. Security headers are present but insufficient without proper TLS. Privacy compliance is well addressed with Cookiebot consent management and a detailed privacy policy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent SSL remediation to improve security posture and user trust.

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

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

RHI Magnesita operates in manufacturing and energy sectors with a vertically integrated business model including raw material mining. It holds a strong market position as a global leader in refractory products and services. The company targets industrial enterprises and investors, offering a broad portfolio including refractory application machinery and sustainability solutions. The website content and social media presence support a large enterprise scale with global operations. The business model focuses on innovation, sustainability, and comprehensive customer solutions. The company maintains active communication channels through news, press releases, and career opportunities, indicating growth and engagement with stakeholders.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential risks. While security headers like XSS protection, frame options, and content-type options are correctly set, the missing HTTPS enforcement is a critical vulnerability. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, limiting transparency. Cookie consent is properly implemented, supporting privacy compliance. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries visibly. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS configuration is essential to elevate security maturity and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent.
  6. Add visible company contact emails and phone numbers with clear context for user trust.
  7. Improve performance metrics and accessibility features for better user experience.
  8. Continue leveraging structured data and SEO best practices to maintain strong digital presence.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, Swiper.js, and Cookiebot for cookie management. It uses Foundation CSS framework and Slider Revolution for UI components. Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and LinkedIn Insight Tag are integrated for analytics and marketing. DNS is managed via a1.net. Performance data is missing, indicating potential measurement gaps or slow loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. Accessibility is basic but can be improved. The invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and security risk. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
