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

Sogefi SpA operates as a global leader in the automotive components manufacturing sector, specializing in engine filtration, air intake, cooling systems, and flexible suspension components. The company serves top vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket replacement markets, positioning itself as a key player in the transportation and manufacturing industries. The website reflects a mature business with comprehensive investor relations, press releases, and sustainability reporting, targeting industry professionals, investors, and clients worldwide. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo analytics, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and multilingual support indicates a commitment to privacy and user experience. However, some areas such as accessibility and security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from context), includes nonce attributes in scripts, and implements cookie consent, but lacks visible security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, suggesting a reasonable security posture but with room for enhancement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, supporting the company's credibility and market position. Strategic improvements in security policies, accessibility, and explicit contact information would further strengthen the site’s reliability and user 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

3 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Sogefi SpA holds a strong market position as a world leader in automotive filtration and suspension components, serving both OEMs and aftermarket sectors. The business model focuses on manufacturing and supplying high-quality automotive parts, supported by a robust investor relations program and transparent corporate governance. The company targets vehicle manufacturers, investors, and industry stakeholders globally, with a clear emphasis on sustainability and innovation. The website content and structure reflect a mature enterprise with consistent branding and trust signals such as financial reports and press releases. Partnerships with financial platforms and digital agencies are evident, enhancing market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The use of nonce attributes in scripts helps mitigate certain injection attacks. However, the absence of security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), lack of explicit security or incident response policies, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicate gaps in comprehensive security governance. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. The site would benefit from enhanced security documentation and technical controls to improve resilience and compliance with standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional but modernized tech stack featuring jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site uses multiple JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements such as carousel sliders and fancybox modals. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and multilingual navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports business needs but could be modernized further with newer frameworks and enhanced security configurations.
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.
