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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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 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

Trackwise operates within the manufacturing sector, focusing on flexible printed circuit boards with a unique roll-to-roll manufacturing process. Their business model centers on custom design and production for high-value industries requiring lightweight and reliable interconnects. The company benefits from its affiliation with Amphenol Corporation, leveraging a broad partnership ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include manufacturing contracts, design consultancy, and licensing of proprietary technology. The target customers are OEMs and engineering firms in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and scientific instrumentation. Growth indicators include recent awards and continuous innovation in product capabilities. The website’s content and structure support a strong brand presence and customer trust, with clear calls to action and comprehensive resource availability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 on forms to prevent spam, and GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and no vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The WHOIS lookup failure is a technical anomaly rather than a security concern but should be investigated to ensure domain registration integrity. Overall, the site is secure for users but could benefit from formalizing security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify standard security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS lookup failure to ensure domain registration data is accurate and accessible.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern technology stack including jQuery, SwiperJS for sliders, Gravity Forms for contact forms, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. Media assets are hosted on AWS S3, indicating a scalable hosting infrastructure. Google Tag Manager and analytics services are integrated for marketing and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as screen-reader text. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage for libraries. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could improve by explicitly implementing security headers and enhancing hosting transparency.
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.
