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

Welbilt Inc is a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of foodservice equipment, operating through a portfolio of 25 brands worldwide. The company targets foodservice professionals, chefs, and distributors with a broad range of kitchen solutions designed to improve productivity and profitability. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with clear branding and global reach, supported by multiple regional and brand-specific domains. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various analytics and marketing tools such as Azure Application Insights, HubSpot, and Usercentrics CMP, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and consent management in place, though the absence of a public security policy and incident response information suggests room for improvement. The missing WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional site and known corporate identity. Overall, the website is well-designed, accessible, and compliant with privacy regulations, supporting Welbilt's market position as a reputable manufacturer in the foodservice industry.

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"

    • 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';…

  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

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

Welbilt operates as a large manufacturing entity within the foodservice sector, leveraging a multi-brand strategy to serve diverse markets globally. Its business model focuses on product innovation, quality, and comprehensive kitchen solutions. The company benefits from a strong parent company relationship with Ali Group, enhancing its market reach and operational capabilities. The website's linkage to multiple regional and brand domains demonstrates a well-structured global distribution network. Marketing and analytics integrations suggest active customer engagement and data-driven decision-making. The absence of detailed financial or founding year data limits deeper business insights, but the presence of career and sustainability sections indicates a focus on corporate responsibility and talent acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and modern consent management tools, ensuring encrypted communications and user privacy compliance. The use of Azure Application Insights and other analytics tools is managed with user consent, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting potential enhancements in HTTP security configurations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were observed in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by publishing formal security documentation and improving HTTP header security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and publish data retention and privacy policies aligned with GDPR and other regulations to reinforce compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and FontAwesome for icons. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Azure Application Insights, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JavaScript assets loaded asynchronously. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of Azure monitoring scripts suggests possible Microsoft Azure hosting or monitoring services. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
