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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

SARSTEDT operates in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, targeting medical professionals, laboratories, and research institutions worldwide. Their business model focuses on manufacturing high-quality consumables and providing integrated automation solutions. The company leverages a global distribution network with 34 sales organizations and extensive dealer coverage. Their product innovation and customization capabilities provide competitive advantages. The website's extensive product information, news updates, and multilingual support indicate a customer-centric approach and strong market positioning. The absence of explicit financial or founding year data limits deeper business intelligence but the company's long history and global footprint suggest a stable and mature enterprise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent management via Cookiebot, and anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. There is no public incident response or security policy contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern about domain registration transparency but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional security headers and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Verify domain WHOIS registration details and ensure public availability or justified privacy protection to increase trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for frontend interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing, controlled by Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently, though performance is moderate likely due to the volume of resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes and semantic HTML but could be improved. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, canonical links, hreflang for multilingual support, and structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business scale, with opportunities for performance and accessibility enhancements.
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.
