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. 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. 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

Scandicast operates in a niche manufacturing market focused on iron castings for various industrial applications. Their business model emphasizes tailored solutions and an expanded supply chain to save client time. The company is positioned as a recognized supplier with certifications from major global societies, enhancing credibility. The website content and structure support a medium-sized enterprise targeting B2B clients in multiple industrial sectors. The lack of WHOIS data limits external verification, but the presence of certifications and professional contact details supports legitimacy. The company appears to maintain a focused partnership ecosystem and a clear value proposition in manufacturing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses cookie consent with opt-in, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, reducing privacy risks. However, no HTTP security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, limiting transparency. No forms were detected on the homepage, reducing attack surface. The absence of WHOIS data restricts domain trust verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Fancybox for media display, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and CookieConsent2 for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. No CMS or hosting provider information was identified. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but meets basic standards. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. The absence of security headers and WHOIS data are technical risks that should be addressed to improve overall site security and trustworthiness.
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.
