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

Uralchem is a large Russian industrial company specializing in the production and sale of mineral fertilisers and chemical substances. The company positions itself as a key player in the mineral fertiliser sector both domestically and globally, with a business history dating back to 2007. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, including detailed ESG and corporate governance information, indicating a commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices. The company targets industrial and agricultural sectors, offering a broad product catalog and procurement information. Technically, the website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform and utilizes modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Vue.js. It features responsive design for mobile devices, SEO-optimized meta tags, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Analytics are handled primarily via Yandex.Metrika, with cookie consent mechanisms in place to comply with privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements basic security best practices like CAPTCHA and cookie consent. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that reduces trustworthiness, as it conflicts with the company's claimed long-standing business history. Overall, the website is well-structured and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and explicit security policies. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

5 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.

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

Uralchem operates in the energy sector focusing on mineral fertilisers and industrial chemicals. The company leverages a manufacturing and sales business model targeting agricultural and industrial clients. Its market position is strong within Russia and internationally, supported by a broad product portfolio exceeding 100 grades. The company emphasizes ESG and corporate governance, reflecting modern corporate responsibility trends. Revenue streams likely include product sales and feed additives. The website's subdomains indicate specialized business units. The lack of direct contact phone numbers and physical addresses on the website may limit direct customer engagement but the presence of procurement and sales contact pages suggests structured B2B interactions. The company appears to maintain a professional brand image with consistent messaging and transparency in governance and ethics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and SSL configured well. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms align with privacy best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which may hinder effective communication during security incidents. The WHOIS data absence raises concerns about domain registration transparency. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options 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 readiness.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to increase trustworthiness.
  4. Add explicit company contact phone numbers and physical addresses to improve customer trust and communication channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform, a widely used enterprise content management system in Russia. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.6.4 and Vue.js for dynamic content and UI enhancements. The site employs Slick Carousel for image sliders and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. CSS and JS assets are versioned and loaded asynchronously where appropriate. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple scripts and media content such as videos. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced 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.
