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

StepLab Solutions is a Lithuanian company specializing in the sale and servicing of Metrohm laboratory products, including titrators, chromatographs, and spectrometers. The company targets laboratory and industrial clients seeking high-quality Swiss-made analytical instruments and related services such as calibration, maintenance, and technical support. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear product and service offerings, contact information, and a focus on quality and reliability. Technically, the site is built on Hostinger's Website Builder using the Astro framework, with modern fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics. While the site is accessible and well-structured, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, and security headers are missing, which could impact compliance and security posture. The WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a domain creation date in the future and registrant information pointing to the hosting provider rather than the business itself, which may warrant further verification. Overall, the website presents a credible business front but should improve compliance and security transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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"

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

StepLab Solutions operates in the manufacturing and laboratory equipment sector, focusing on B2B sales and services of Metrohm products in Lithuania. The company leverages its expertise to provide comprehensive laboratory solutions, including equipment sales, servicing, and calibration. Its market positioning is that of a specialized local distributor and service provider for Swiss analytical instruments. The business model is centered on product sales complemented by value-added services, targeting laboratories and industrial clients requiring precision analytical tools. The presence of a LinkedIn profile indicates some level of professional networking and brand building. The company is relatively new or recently rebranded, as suggested by the domain registration date, and appears to be a small-sized enterprise. Growth potential exists through expanding service offerings and improving digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and there is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Forms on the site collect user data but there is no visible privacy or cookie consent mechanism, raising compliance concerns with GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data inconsistency and lack of registrant transparency slightly reduce trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to reflect accurate business ownership and registration dates.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Hostinger's Website Builder platform with the Astro framework, leveraging Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts (Outfit, Inter, Roboto). Performance is moderate, with fixed background images and embedded videos from Pexels. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate provided by Hostinger. However, the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. The site structure and navigation are clear, supporting good SEO practices, but accessibility features are basic. The technical stack is suitable for a small business but would benefit from enhancements in security and privacy implementations to meet higher standards.
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.
