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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  3. 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

SPREAD targets medium to large manufacturing enterprises, especially automotive OEMs and suppliers, offering AI-driven solutions to unify and analyze product lifecycle data. Their business model is SaaS-based, focusing on delivering engineering intelligence to improve product development and manufacturing processes. The company leverages partnerships and showcases trust through client logos of major industry players. The website content and testimonials highlight measurable benefits such as faster error correction, cost reduction, and quality improvements. The marketing ecosystem includes advanced tracking and retargeting tools, indicating a strategic approach to customer acquisition and engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses cookie consent banners aligned with GDPR requirements. Security headers are partially detected or implied but could be explicitly confirmed and enhanced. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with the need for ongoing security audits to mitigate risks from external scripts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Salesloft. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. The use of embedded Vimeo video enhances content engagement. Hosting appears to be managed by Identity Digital or a related provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
