High risk. 7 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.

Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website for thesteel.com is currently inaccessible due to geographic blocking implemented by an Amazon CloudFront distribution, resulting in a 403 error page. This prevents access to any meaningful content, metadata, or business information. The domain is registered and uses AWS infrastructure with Microsoft Outlook for email services, indicating some level of legitimate setup. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support significantly weaken the security posture. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact information or business details are available on the site. Overall, the website's digital maturity is low, with poor content quality and minimal technical implementation visible due to blocking.

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

7 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 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

  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

  3. 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';…

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

Due to the lack of accessible website content and business information, it is not possible to determine the market positioning, business model, or target audience of thesteel.com. The domain appears to be registered and hosted on AWS infrastructure with email services via Microsoft Outlook, suggesting a professional setup. However, no partnerships, subsidiaries, or certifications are evident. The absence of visible business data limits any competitive or strategic analysis.

Security posture

The security posture of thesteel.com is weak. The site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, exposing users to potential risks. No security headers or advanced configurations such as HSTS or DNSSEC are enabled. The site is blocked by AWS CloudFront WAF based on geographic restrictions, which may be a deliberate security or compliance measure but also limits accessibility. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. Overall, the site does not meet basic security best practices and requires significant improvements to protect users and data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure communications.
  2. Review and adjust AWS CloudFront geographic restrictions to allow legitimate user access or provide alternative access methods.
  3. Implement standard security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to comply with legal requirements and build user trust.
  5. Add contact information and business details on the website to improve credibility and user engagement.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on AWS infrastructure using Amazon CloudFront as a CDN and WAF, with DNS managed by AWS nameservers and email handled via Microsoft Outlook protection services. The SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols are supported. The site has minimal resources and a small page size but is blocked by geographic restrictions, limiting performance and accessibility assessments. No CMS, frameworks, or analytics tools are detectable due to the lack of accessible content. The technical setup shows potential but requires remediation of SSL and access issues to improve operational effectiveness.
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.
