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

Roots Cast Private Ltd (RCPL) is a well-established Indian manufacturer specializing in aluminium and zinc alloy die casting components, serving diverse sectors including aerospace, automotive, defence, healthcare, and engineering. The company is part of the larger Roots Group and has a strong market position in India with extensive in-house capabilities such as tool design, machining, surface finishing, and assembly. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive presentation of their products, facilities, and certifications, targeting industrial B2B customers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates advanced sliders, forms, and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Security measures include HTTPS and reCAPTCHA on forms, but lack some advanced security headers and explicit privacy consent mechanisms. The security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and credible business front with room for enhancement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include adding cookie consent banners, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving WHOIS transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Roots Cast Private Ltd operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on aluminium die casting for high-value industries such as aerospace and automotive. Their competitive advantage lies in comprehensive in-house capabilities and certifications, enabling them to deliver complex, high-quality components and assemblies. The business model is B2B, targeting OEMs and industrial clients requiring precision castings. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem within the Roots Group, enhancing its market reach and operational synergy. Growth indicators include recent awards and active participation in quality and safety initiatives. The website's detailed product and facility descriptions, along with multiple contact points, support strong customer engagement and business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR indicators. Incident response and security policy information are not published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR and other data protection regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates advanced UI components like MasterSlider and uses Gravity Forms for data collection. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity, enabling user behavior insights. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb navigation. The technical stack is mature and suitable for a professional industrial website, though some modernization and security hardening could be beneficial.
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.
