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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Schindler South Africa holds a strong market position as a leading elevator and escalator provider with a global parent company. Their business model includes manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and modernization services, targeting commercial, residential, and public infrastructure sectors. The website demonstrates a well-established partnership ecosystem and a focus on innovation and digital transformation. Contact information and legal details are clearly presented, supporting trust and credibility. The company leverages multiple international domains for regional presence, indicating a broad operational footprint.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a comprehensive Content Security Policy, and no visible sensitive data exposure. Use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with consent mechanisms. However, the absence of some common security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security contact information was found, which could be beneficial for transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could enhance its security maturity with additional controls and disclosures.
Recommendations
Add additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense-in-depth.
Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance incident response transparency by providing dedicated security contact channels.
Continue to monitor privacy compliance and update policies as regulations evolve.

Notes
The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, integrating Adobe Launch for tag management and Adobe Analytics for data insights. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, including jQuery, and integrates multiple marketing and tracking services such as Google Analytics, Bing Ads, HubSpot, and OneTrust for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for a large multinational enterprise.
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.
