Security score

73/100

Risk levelMedium

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

SKF is a global enterprise specializing in manufacturing and supplying bearings, bearing units, seals, lubrication solutions, and maintenance services across various industrial sectors worldwide. The website content is primarily in Finnish and targets B2B customers, emphasizing SKF's commitment to reducing friction and advancing industrial progress. The site uses modern web technologies including Angular and integrates consent management and performance monitoring tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or terms policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the brand presence and content quality support legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and functional with room for improvement in compliance and security transparency.

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

5 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

SKF holds a strong market position as a leading manufacturer in the industrial and manufacturing sector, focusing on friction reduction technologies. Their business model is B2B, serving global industrial clients with products and maintenance services. The website indicates a large enterprise scale with consistent branding and a focus on industrial innovation. The absence of detailed contact information and corporate disclosures on the site suggests a reliance on established brand recognition and direct client relationships. The integration of consent management and analytics tools shows awareness of regulatory compliance and digital marketing practices. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced as indicated by resource URLs, and a consent management platform is implemented to handle cookie and tracking consents, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder security transparency and responsiveness. The lack of WHOIS data and registrant information also limits trust verification. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers, policy disclosures, and incident response communications are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Provide clear contact information and incident response channels, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility metadata to improve site discoverability and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular version 18.2.13, leveraging modern web fonts and asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance optimization. Consent management is handled via ConsentManager.net, and performance monitoring is implemented using Boomerang RUM and Google Tag Manager. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. The site performance is moderate with room for improvement in SEO metadata completeness and accessibility features. The absence of explicit security headers and WHOIS data indicates potential technical debt in security and domain management practices.
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.
