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

9 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 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. 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';…

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

VisiConsult holds a strong market position as a global leader in industrial X-ray inspection and NDT solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering turnkey solutions combining software, hardware, and services, targeting industries with high-quality assurance needs. The company emphasizes innovation and quality, backed by ISO 9001 certification and a network of subsidiaries that expand their market reach. Their partnership ecosystem includes specialized domains such as battery inspection and component counting. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with clear messaging aimed at industrial clients and quality managers. Growth indicators include involvement in funded projects and a diversified portfolio of services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled using modern TLS protocols (1.3 and 1.2), no known SSL vulnerabilities, and a valid SPF record for email protection. However, it lacks advanced security headers like HSTS and OCSP stapling, and no DMARC record is present, which could enhance email security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The presence of secure forms and anti-spam measures like Honeypot and Contact Form 7 indicates attention to secure data collection. Incident response and security policy pages were not found, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and protect against downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Add a DMARC DNS record to strengthen email authentication and prevent spoofing.
  4. Consider deploying additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options for enhanced protection.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Avada theme, incorporating advanced plugins such as Revolution Slider, Borlabs Cookie for consent management, Contact Form 7 for forms, and various JavaScript libraries including jQuery, GSAP, and Swiper. The site uses modern web standards and is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design. Performance is moderate with a load time of approximately 5.5 seconds and 138 resources loaded, indicating potential for optimization. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are present, including ARIA labels and skip links. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
