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

SWAROTEC is a specialized business unit under SWAROVSKI OPTIK, focusing on the development and manufacturing of customized optical and optoelectronic system solutions for industrial applications. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality, precise optical technologies. Their market position is that of a niche, technologically advanced provider with a strong brand association to SWAROVSKI OPTIK. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear business descriptions and contact channels. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, UIkit framework, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics for consent management. It is built on the Neos CMS platform and shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA on forms, enhancing protection against automated abuse. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, showing a stable and legitimate presence since 2012. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a trustworthy digital presence for SWAROTEC. Minor improvements in DNS security and security policy transparency could further enhance trust and security posture.

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

6 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

  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 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

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

SWAROTEC operates in the technology and manufacturing sectors, providing tailored optical system solutions primarily to industrial clients. Their business model is B2B, leveraging the strong brand and resources of their parent company, SWAROVSKI OPTIK. The company benefits from a clear market niche with specialized products such as high-resolution imaging systems and optomechanical components. Their website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and customer responsiveness. The presence of a LinkedIn company profile and professional content suggests active engagement in industry networks and a commitment to maintaining a reputable market position. Revenue streams likely derive from custom system development and manufacturing contracts. The company emphasizes personal customer service, comprehensive problem-solving, and quality assurance as competitive advantages. No direct e-commerce or retail sales are evident, reinforcing the industrial B2B focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented on the contact form to mitigate spam and abuse. The domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to secure DNS queries. No security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, representing an area for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of Usercentrics indicates compliance with GDPR cookie consent requirements. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the website's purpose but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Neos CMS platform with UIkit as the front-end framework and jQuery for scripting. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting a modern and privacy-conscious technical stack. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. Performance is moderate, with images and slideshows used for visual appeal. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Hosting details are limited, but the domain registrar is reputable. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
