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

ZEISS Belgium operates as a regional corporate presence for ZEISS, a global leader in optics and optoelectronics technology. The website analyzed is a language selection landing page directing users to Dutch and French versions of their metrology site, indicating a segmented approach to regional content delivery. The site uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates modern tracking and consent technologies such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie management. The technical infrastructure appears modern and mobile-optimized, though content on this page is minimal and primarily navigational. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or terms policies on this page. WHOIS data is restricted due to DNS Belgium policies, which is typical for .be domains, and no suspicious registration patterns were detected. Overall, the site reflects a legitimate corporate entity with room for improvement in transparency and security best practices.

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

7 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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

ZEISS is positioned as an established technology company specializing in optics and metrology solutions, targeting both business and general audiences. The website serves as a gateway to localized content, supporting multilingual user engagement. The business model focuses on providing high-precision optical products and services, with a strong emphasis on corporate branding and trust. The lack of direct contact information on this landing page suggests a centralized approach to customer engagement on subsequent pages. The use of advanced CMS and tracking tools indicates a mature digital presence, though the absence of visible privacy and security policies on this page may impact user trust. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from this page, but the domain links to the broader ZEISS Group site.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust, demonstrating compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No forms or input fields are present on this page, minimizing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. The lack of published privacy policy, terms of service, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information indicates gaps in transparency and security readiness. WHOIS data is restricted, which is common for .be domains, and does not raise immediate concerns. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and providing clear contact channels for incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from all pages.
  2. Add standard security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and structured data to improve search visibility and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, and uses modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and scripts. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with EU cookie regulations. However, the site lacks explicit security headers and visible privacy or legal documentation on this landing page. WHOIS data is restricted by DNS Belgium, limiting domain registration transparency but consistent with regional policies. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.
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.
