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

SAPA By Hydro is a well-established global leader in aluminium building systems, offering innovative and sustainable solutions for windows, doors, facades, and related products. The company operates through a network of qualified manufacturers and installers, with a strong presence in Europe and worldwide via partner brands TECHNAL and DOMAL. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with Hydro, the parent company. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, consent management tools, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response contacts. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and branding strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, user-friendly, and compliant with privacy regulations, but could improve security practices and WHOIS transparency.

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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

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

SAPA By Hydro holds a strong market position as a leader in aluminium building systems with over 60 years of experience. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing high-end aluminium solutions through localized websites targeting professionals and homeowners. The company benefits from its parent Hydro's global presence and sustainability focus. Key competitive advantages include product customization, energy efficiency, and a broad international footprint. The partnership ecosystem includes TECHNAL and DOMAL brands, enhancing market reach. Growth indicators include extensive localized content and multimedia engagement. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and partnerships with manufacturers/installers. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining brand consistency and expanding digital presence while addressing domain registration transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of visible security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and provide clear security contacts to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts and procedures to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.6.4 and Slick Carousel for UI components, alongside Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and Open Graph data for SEO. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly detected. The site uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
