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

Roots EMS is a reputable Electronics Manufacturing Services provider based in India, specializing in PCB design, assembly, and advanced manufacturing processes such as SMT, vapor phase soldering, and conformal coating. The company positions itself as a leader in the Indian EMS market with a focus on quality, supported by multiple industry certifications and a professional digital presence. Their service offerings cater primarily to businesses requiring contract manufacturing and PCB assembly solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Astra theme, integrating modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or security policies. Overall, the website reflects a medium-sized, credible manufacturing business with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  4. 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 EMS operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically targeting electronics manufacturing and PCB assembly markets in India. The company leverages certifications like IATF, IPC, and ISO to establish trust and quality assurance. Their business model is B2B, serving clients needing contract manufacturing and assembly services. The website content and structure indicate a focus on quality, innovation, and customer retention, with 24/6 support availability. The presence of multiple service pages and a blog suggests active content marketing efforts. The company uses popular digital marketing and analytics tools to monitor and optimize user engagement. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or WHOIS data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Tracking scripts are present, but no cookie consent mechanism is implemented, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with better headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Astra theme, which supports responsive design and SEO best practices. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site loads with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, no advanced accessibility features beyond basic support are evident. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses domain control name servers without DNSSEC enabled. The website lacks some security best practices such as security headers and explicit privacy and security policies, which are recommended for technical maturity and 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.
