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

Schindler Lifts NZ Ltd operates a professional and comprehensive website focused on the manufacturing and servicing of elevators, escalators, and moving walks in New Zealand. The company is positioned as a leading provider in the vertical transportation sector, supported by its parent company, Schindler Group. The website offers detailed product information, modernisation solutions, digital services, and career opportunities, targeting building owners, facility managers, and architects. The digital infrastructure is built on Adobe Experience Manager with integrations of HubSpot, Adobe Analytics, and Google Analytics, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, Content Security Policy, and no visible vulnerabilities, although explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy notice and cookie consent mechanism. The absence of WHOIS data for the subdomain www.schindler.co.nz introduces some uncertainty in domain legitimacy verification, but the overall professional presentation and linkage to the parent company support trustworthiness.

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

The company leverages its global brand and local presence to serve diverse market segments including residential, commercial, healthcare, and transport sectors. Its business model combines product manufacturing with comprehensive maintenance and digital services, enabling recurring revenue streams. The website's content and navigation reflect a customer-centric approach with clear segmentation and service offerings. The integration of advanced digital tools like Schindler Ahead and PORT destination control systems indicates innovation focus. The company maintains a consistent brand image and engages users through social media (LinkedIn) and direct contact channels. The lack of visible certifications or security accreditations on the site suggests an area for potential enhancement to strengthen market confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, a strict Content Security Policy, and no exposed sensitive information. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent and a detailed privacy notice. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and no security.txt file limits transparency on vulnerability handling and incident management. The WHOIS data gap for the subdomain raises a minor concern but does not directly impact the website's security posture. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing explicit security governance information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Consider displaying relevant certifications or compliance badges to reinforce credibility.
  4. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence for the www.schindler.co.nz subdomain to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing platforms such as HubSpot, Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, and Bing Ads, enabling comprehensive user behavior tracking and campaign management. The site employs modern web standards including responsive design and accessibility features, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of third-party scripts. Security headers like Content Security Policy are implemented, enhancing protection against common web attacks. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and further enhance security transparency.
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.
