Risk levelLow

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

Welbilt EMEA operates as a major player in the commercial kitchen equipment industry, representing multiple well-known brands such as Convotherm, Delfield, Frymaster, Garland, Lincoln, and Merrychef. The company targets hospitality and foodservice businesses across the EMEA region, providing sales, service, and resource support. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to their audience. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Microsoft Application Insights, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well, though some improvements in security headers and hosting transparency could be made. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable concern, potentially indicating recent registration or privacy protection, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website presents a solid business and technical foundation with room for improvement in security transparency and domain legitimacy verification. Strategic enhancements in these areas will strengthen trust and compliance posture.

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.

    • 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. 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';…

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 EMEA holds a strong market position as a manufacturer and distributor of commercial kitchen equipment, leveraging a portfolio of established brands. Their business model focuses on B2B sales, service, and support within the hospitality sector. The company benefits from a broad geographic reach in the EMEA region and a comprehensive digital presence including virtual showrooms and educational resources. Partnerships with brand-specific sites and active social media engagement support their market visibility. The lack of detailed company founding data and WHOIS registration transparency suggests a need for further due diligence. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, service contracts, and warranty registrations. The company targets hospitality businesses, catering services, and retail foodservice providers, indicating a diversified customer base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Usercentrics. The use of reputable analytics and marketing tools indicates awareness of data privacy. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, limiting transparency and preparedness. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which could be a risk factor. Overall, the site shows good baseline security but would benefit from enhanced security controls, policy publication, and domain verification to improve trust and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and demonstrate security commitment.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and build trust with users and partners.
  5. Enhance contact information by including verified company email addresses for support and security communications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for UI components, supported by analytics and marketing integrations such as Microsoft Application Insights, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, and Usercentrics CMP for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and scripts, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented. However, the lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data suggest areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, which could be addressed for better transparency.
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.
