74/100

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

SolidComponents is a well-established B2B platform specializing in the distribution and cataloging of industrial components such as fasteners, springs, bearings, and electronics. Founded in 1999 and based in Sweden, the company provides engineers and procurement professionals with access to a comprehensive digital catalog, including CAD model downloads and supplier information. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with a variety of JavaScript libraries and custom tools to enhance user experience, including 3D viewers and configurators. While the platform uses HTTPS and has a privacy policy, it lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and some security headers, which are areas for improvement. The domain registration details are consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 operates in the manufacturing sector, targeting engineers and procurement professionals with a digital catalog and component marketplace. Its business model revolves around providing detailed product data and CAD resources to facilitate component sourcing. The platform's longevity and domain age suggest a stable market position. The absence of visible contact details on the main site may indicate a focus on registered users or B2B clients. The use of admin and power user roles suggests a tiered access model, supporting complex business operations. The integration of multiple technical tools and analytics indicates a commitment to digital maturity, though some modernization is advisable.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, enhancing domain security. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. The use of an older jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. The login and registration flows include token-based verification and privacy policy acceptance, reflecting good security practices. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  5. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, including jQuery 2.2.4, Bootstrap 3.3.5, Font Awesome 6.4.2, and AMCharts 4.10.21. It features custom scripts for user management, 3D viewing, and product configurators. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility features. SEO practices are basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data beyond internal usage. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. The site architecture supports a single-page application style with dynamic content loading and AJAX calls. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but shows signs of technical debt and opportunities for modernization.
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.
