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

Weidmüller Limited is a well-established industrial connectivity and automation solutions provider based in the United Kingdom. The company offers a broad range of products and services including connectivity components, electronics, automation software, workplace accessories, and assembly services. Their market position is strong within the manufacturing and energy sectors, targeting industrial customers and partners globally. The website reflects a professional B2B business model with clear navigation and comprehensive product and service information. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie consent, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, some improvements in accessibility and security headers could enhance the technical maturity further. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has a PSIRT page indicating a proactive approach to vulnerability disclosure. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of explicit security headers and a security.txt file are areas for improvement. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good security posture. The main concern is the lack of WHOIS data due to a domain registration error, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the professional presentation and operational legitimacy of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing explicit incident response contact emails.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  3. 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

Weidmüller operates in the manufacturing and industrial connectivity sectors with a focus on energy, transportation, and automation markets. Their competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive product portfolio and digital engineering services such as the Weidmüller Configurator and easyConnect platform. The business model is B2B with a global distribution and support network. Revenue streams likely include product sales, customized assemblies, consulting, and digital services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with franchised distributors and IIoT partners. Growth indicators include ongoing product innovations and digital transformation initiatives. The website supports these insights with detailed product categories, solutions, and service offerings.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is good, with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. The presence of a PSIRT page demonstrates awareness and readiness for vulnerability management. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. However, the lack of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. The absence of a security.txt file limits ease of vulnerability reporting. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and cookie banners. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly listed, which could be improved to enhance security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file at the root of the domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide explicit security incident response contact emails (e.g., security@ or abuse@) on the website.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust scripts for analytics and cookie consent. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and deferred JavaScript to improve load times. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph protocol, and alternate hreflang links for internationalization. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected from the HTML. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential technical debt in accessibility compliance. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and enhance user accessibility.
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.
