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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

    • 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

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 holds a strong market position as a global leader in fastening technology, supported by a portfolio of well-known brands such as Avdel®, Integra™, Nelson®, and others. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive fastening solutions and engineering support to industrial manufacturers, particularly in automotive, aerospace, and energy sectors. The website's multilingual support and extensive product and service information indicate a global reach and customer-centric approach. Partnerships with distributors and related service providers are evident, enhancing their supply chain and customer service capabilities. The company benefits from the backing of Stanley Black & Decker, a major parent company, which adds to its credibility and resource base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of dedicated security or incident response pages suggest room for improvement in transparency and defense-in-depth strategies. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance efforts such as GDPR cookie consent. The missing WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a large enterprise but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and adopting additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to increase transparency and provide clear guidance for vulnerability reporting and security incidents.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance by auditing and improving ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries and ensure privacy compliance.

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.
