Security score

64/100

Risk levelMedium

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

STEER World is a global leader specializing in advanced extrusion technology, providing innovative and sustainable manufacturing solutions across sectors such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, food, and biomass processing. The company positions itself as a technology innovator with a strong emphasis on sustainability and precision manufacturing. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies like Next.js and Cloudflare CDN, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should enhance privacy transparency and security disclosures to align with best practices.

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

4 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 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

  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
    • 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

STEER World operates primarily in the manufacturing sector with a focus on extrusion technologies for multiple industries including pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. The business model is B2B, targeting industrial clients requiring advanced processing solutions. The company has a long-standing domain (since 1999), indicating established market presence. Key competitive advantages include patented technologies, global offices, and a strong innovation pipeline. The website content and media coverage links support a credible and authoritative market position. The company leverages partnerships and possibly subsidiaries (e.g., UnWood) to expand its sustainable materials offerings.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness perception. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no GDPR-specific disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms evident. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN with Cloudflare DNS. It uses asynchronous loading of scripts for analytics and marketing tags, contributing to good performance and user experience. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility is basic but present. There is no evidence of a CMS; the site appears custom-built. The technical infrastructure supports a fast and reliable user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and security hardening.
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.
