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

4 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

uvex group maintains a diversified brand portfolio serving manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on safety and sports equipment. Their business model integrates manufacturing with direct online retail through an official shop. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiaries to expand market reach. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on professional customers and consumers seeking quality protective gear. The presence of multiple brand domains and social media channels supports a strong marketing ecosystem. Growth indicators include active job postings and a comprehensive brand showcase. The company appears to have a robust operational and marketing strategy aligned with industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a consent management platform for privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, limiting external security collaboration. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility, including official emails and phone numbers, to improve user trust and support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern frontend technologies such as StencilJS and served via Amazon Cloudfront CDN for performance optimization. The site uses a consent management platform (Usercentrics) and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices evident. Performance is fast due to CDN usage and efficient asset loading. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though adding additional security headers and expanding published security documentation would further enhance the technical robustness.
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.
