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

8 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Saur operates in the water management sector with a business model focused on providing water services, engineering solutions, and industrial water treatment. Its market positioning is strong in Europe and the Middle East, serving municipalities and industries with a growing portfolio of contracts. The company leverages innovation and sustainability as competitive advantages, supported by a clear brand message and active social media presence. Revenue streams likely include service contracts, engineering projects, and technology solutions. The target customer segments include public authorities, industrial clients, and consumers interested in water sustainability. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and environmental organizations, though no explicit partners are listed on the site. Growth indicators include expanding service contracts and innovation initiatives. The website content and structure support the company’s strategic positioning and market presence effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of cookie consent tools indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Provide direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Matomo analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is well-structured with responsive design elements and optimized images. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. There is no clear CMS identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Technical debt appears low with clean markup and no broken elements. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
