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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

TOHATSU is positioned as a significant player in the transportation and energy sectors, specializing in marine engines and fire pumps. The company leverages a multi-regional web presence to serve diverse markets, enhancing customer reach and support. The absence of direct contact details on the main page suggests a focus on directing users to regional sites or corporate contacts. The use of Google Tag Manager and Trust360 indicates an investment in data-driven marketing and privacy compliance. The business model is product-centric with a clear emphasis on manufacturing quality and global distribution. The website's professional design and consistent branding reinforce TOHATSU's credibility and market trust. No evident certifications or security policies were found, which could be areas for future enhancement to strengthen competitive advantage and customer confidence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and integrates a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency for security issues. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which are best practices for responsible vulnerability management. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of reputable third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Trust360 contribute positively to the security posture. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Consider deploying a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 3.4.1. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management, while Trust360 manages cookie consent and privacy compliance. The site is hosted under a domain registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar. Performance is moderate with no evident heavy scripts or delays, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph metadata for social sharing. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, indicating a likely custom or static site architecture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and expanded accessibility features.
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.
