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

Schwing Stetter (UK) Ltd is a well-established manufacturer and supplier specializing in concrete production and placement equipment, including concrete pumps, batching plants, truck mixers, and concrete recyclers. The company positions itself as a global leader in the concrete equipment industry, serving primarily construction professionals and contractors in the UK. Their business model focuses on manufacturing, distribution, and after-sales services, supported by a professional and content-rich website that reflects their market position. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA, and service workers, ensuring a secure and user-friendly experience. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and clear navigation, although some improvements in accessibility and security headers could enhance the overall technical posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA on its contact forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers suggests room for improvement in security maturity. The WHOIS lookup failed due to querying a subdomain rather than the registered domain, but this does not detract from the legitimacy of the business as evidenced by the professional website and consistent branding. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to further strengthen the security posture.

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. 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 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

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Schwing Stetter (UK) Ltd operates in the manufacturing and transportation sectors, focusing on concrete construction equipment. Their competitive advantage lies in their global leadership and comprehensive product range, including mobile and stationary concrete pumps, batching plants, and truck mixers. The company targets construction industry professionals and contractors, leveraging a direct sales and service model supported by genuine spare parts and after-sales services. Growth indicators include recent news about relocation and expansion of UK headquarters, signaling operational scaling. The company maintains partnerships visible through social media channels and a professional web presence, reinforcing market trust and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting form submissions. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in comprehensive security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent banners and a privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting an opportunity to improve transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy incorporating employee training, incident response planning, and continuous monitoring.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA integration. It employs service workers for progressive web app capabilities and uses popular libraries such as FontAwesome and Slick Slider for UI enhancements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of fonts for performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
