Risk levelHigh

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

SAFIN Group is an established international supplier and service provider in the steel, oil, warehouse, and development sectors, operating since 1993 and incorporated in Vienna, Austria. The company offers a diversified portfolio including steel trading, oil products, warehousing, and development projects such as mining and offshore drilling. Their market position is that of a medium-sized, international B2B supplier with a broad geographic reach and multiple subsidiaries. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with dated JavaScript libraries and moderate performance. The site lacks modern security features such as HTTPS and DNSSEC, and does not implement cookie consent or privacy compliance mechanisms. The design and user experience are basic but functional, with clear navigation and relevant business content. From a security perspective, the site shows some weaknesses including no visible security headers, outdated libraries, and no HTTPS enforcement. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection used and a domain age appropriate for the business claims. However, the lack of security best practices and privacy compliance reduces the overall security posture. Overall, the website is moderately credible and functional but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to meet current standards and reduce risk.

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. 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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Business profile

SAFIN Group operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors with a focus on steel supply, oil products, warehousing, and development projects. Their business model is B2B international supply and services, targeting industrial clients worldwide. The company has a long history and established market presence since 1993, supported by a domain registered since 2000. Subsidiaries such as SAFIN NES and SAFIN Cloud indicate diversification and expansion. The website content reflects a professional but basic digital presence, with no visible marketing or analytics tools, suggesting a focus on direct business relationships rather than digital marketing. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its diversified portfolio and international reach, but digital maturity and security posture lag behind industry best practices.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the SAFIN Group website is low to moderate. Key vulnerabilities include lack of HTTPS, no DNSSEC, outdated JavaScript libraries, and absence of security headers. There is no published security or incident response policy, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Email addresses are obfuscated but still exposed in source code, increasing spam risk. The domain registration is secure with EPP protections but the website itself lacks modern security controls. Compliance with GDPR is minimal, with only a basic privacy policy and no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing.
  3. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  6. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  7. Improve website design and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and accessibility.
  8. Regularly audit and update website components to reduce technical debt and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with MooTools and an outdated jQuery version (1.6.2). It uses a frontpage slideshow extension by JoomlaWorks. The hosting provider is likely GoDaddy.com, LLC based on WHOIS registrar data. The site lacks HTTPS information in the provided data, indicating possible HTTP-only access which is a critical security risk. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses JavaScript-based email obfuscation but no modern tracking or analytics tools. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security best practices, presenting modernization opportunities and risks to business operations.
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.
