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

3 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 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

Schindler's business model focuses on B2B vertical transportation solutions, serving building owners, developers, and facility managers in the UAE and broader MENA region. Their competitive advantage lies in Swiss-engineered products, extensive modernization offerings, and strong regional support infrastructure. The company maintains a global-local balance with a parent company presence and localized contact points. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, maintenance contracts, modernization projects, and consulting services. The website's content and structure indicate a strategic emphasis on customer support, innovation, and career development, reflecting a mature and diversified business operation. Partnerships with global platforms like HubSpot and Adobe enhance marketing and analytics capabilities, supporting growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive Content Security Policy restricting resources to trusted domains. The use of Adobe Experience Manager and integration with Adobe Launch suggests centralized control over tags and scripts, reducing risk of unauthorized code execution. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of some common security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection indicates room for improvement. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices for corporate websites, minimizing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Add additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and tracking for improved privacy compliance.
  5. Consider implementing automated security scanning and monitoring to proactively detect and address emerging threats.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, indicating a robust enterprise-grade content management platform. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, and Bing Ads, reflecting a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and lazy loading for images, contributing to good performance and mobile optimization. The Content Security Policy is detailed and restrictive, enhancing security. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. There is an opportunity to optimize loading times further by consolidating scripts and leveraging caching strategies. Overall, the technical implementation 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.
