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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

ANDRITZ Fabrics and Rolls targets industrial clients in the pulp and paper sector, leveraging a portfolio of established brands and patented technologies. The business model is B2B manufacturing and service provision, with a global footprint and regional contact centers. The company emphasizes innovation with new product lines and digital solutions. The website's content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement, with downloadable brochures and detailed product teasers. The presence of multiple regional contacts and a global network indicates a mature operational model. No direct revenue data is available, but the enterprise scale and brand portfolio suggest significant market share and industry influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly visible security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, which could be beneficial for transparency and incident handling. The use of Piwik PRO analytics suggests a privacy-aware approach. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional best practices and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or enterprise CMS with modern front-end technologies including responsive images and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery. Analytics are handled via Piwik PRO, indicating a focus on privacy compliance. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts and resources loaded asynchronously or deferred. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by optimizing script loading and enhancing security headers.
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.
