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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 targets building owners, facility managers, and architects, offering a full lifecycle of vertical transportation solutions from new installations to modernization and digital services. The business model is B2B focused with enterprise scale operations. The website's integration with global marketing and analytics platforms suggests active customer engagement and data-driven decision making. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers in the public domain suggests controlled communication channels, likely to manage customer interactions professionally. The domain registration aligns with the business claims, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy that restricts resource loading to trusted domains. The use of modern analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy compliance tools like OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of explicit incident response contacts and security.txt file indicates room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Overall, the security measures are appropriate for an enterprise-level corporate website.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve security communication and readiness.
  4. Review and tighten Content-Security-Policy to remove 'unsafe-inline' if feasible to reduce risk of script injection.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more direct contact options to improve user trust and engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, combined with modern JavaScript libraries and extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing tools. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical stack is modern and well maintained, with no visible technical debt or deprecated technologies. The site uses lazy loading for images and responsive design techniques to optimize user experience across devices. Hosting details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the technology choices.
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.
