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

SCM Foundry, part of SCM Group, is a medium-sized Italian manufacturing company specializing in grey and ductile iron castings for various industrial sectors including gear motors, machinery, pumps, compressors, agriculture, railways, and nautical industries. With over 70 years of experience and a production capacity of 12,000 tons per year, SCM Foundry offers comprehensive services from product conception to prototyping and production engineering. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear sector focus and good content quality. Technically, the site uses Pimcore CMS, Apache server, and integrates modern analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager, but the PHP version is outdated and performance data is unavailable. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, exposing the site to significant risks. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive policies managed via Iubenda. Overall, the site is functional and credible but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

SCM Foundry operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on industrial castings, serving a diverse range of European industrial clients. Its competitive advantage lies in its production flexibility, co-engineering capabilities, and a strong network of specialized foundries. The business model combines manufacturing with engineering services and procurement support. The company targets industrial manufacturers requiring high-quality castings and positions itself as a reliable partner with decades of experience. The website supports this positioning with detailed sector information, certificates, and a clear corporate structure. Partnerships with SCM Group and use of professional web agencies indicate a mature digital presence.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently poor due to the lack of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability. While several security headers are implemented (X-XSS-Protection, X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.), the absence of TLS protocols and HSTS reduces overall security significantly. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files exist. The site uses modern analytics and marketing tools with privacy compliance, but the outdated PHP version and missing SSL expose the business to potential data interception and trust issues. Immediate remediation of SSL and TLS configuration is essential.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Upgrade PHP to a supported and secure version to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.
  3. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Apache 2.4.6 with PHP 7.1.33 on CentOS, using Pimcore CMS. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Iubenda for privacy compliance. The server uses Akamai CDN as indicated by headers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. However, performance metrics are missing, and the PHP version is outdated, which may pose security and maintenance challenges. The absence of HTTPS is a major technical and security flaw. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and business information, enhancing search engine visibility. Overall, the technical stack is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
