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. 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

The company targets B2B customers in automotive manufacturing, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors, leveraging its long history and diversified product lines to maintain market leadership in India. Its subsidiaries and partner sites indicate a broad operational footprint. The business model focuses on manufacturing and service provision with a strong emphasis on quality and precision. The website content and structure support clear communication of business offerings and corporate identity, aiding customer engagement and trust. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a potential risk factor but does not currently undermine the evident operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential vulnerabilities to common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may pose regulatory risks especially under GDPR. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics scripts, reducing privacy concerns but also limiting business intelligence capabilities. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to explicitly address GDPR and other privacy regulations to improve compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and WordPress plugins to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  5. Consider verifying and publishing domain WHOIS information to improve domain trust and legitimacy perception.

  1. Website is fully accessible with no blocking or WAF challenge
  2. Content is professionally presented and relevant to manufacturing industry
  3. WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual and reduces domain trust
  4. No privacy or cookie consent banners detected, indicating partial GDPR compliance
  5. No visible security headers detected, room for security improvements
  6. Multiple external domains linked, mostly subsidiaries or partner sites
  7. No analytics or tracking scripts detected, indicating privacy-conscious approach or minimal tracking
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for sliders, Fancybox for media display, and FontAwesome for icons. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a corporate manufacturing website but could benefit from enhanced accessibility 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.
