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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

  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

The company holds a strong market position in the manufacturing sector for specialized polymer coatings, targeting B2B clients such as architects and industrial processors. Their competitive advantages include environmentally friendly products, customized solutions, and a long-standing reputation since 1997. The business model focuses on product development, manufacturing, and supply of coatings with certifications like EMICODE enhancing market trust. The website's detailed references and downloadable resources support customer engagement and transparency. The partnership with abp-coatings.de suggests a broader brand ecosystem. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product portfolio and international language support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent with opt-in and blocking of local/session storage, and CSRF token usage in AJAX calls. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response contacts or security.txt file indicate room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is managed with consent. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide explicit incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain and document data retention policies for analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix3 template framework and SP Page Builder, leveraging jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. Google Fonts and FontAwesome provide styling and icons. Hosting is via Schlundtech, a reputable German provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, blocking cookies and storage when declined. Technical debt appears low, but adding modern security headers and improving accessibility would modernize the infrastructure further.
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.
