Risk levelMedium

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

AICHELIN Holding GmbH is a leading industrial manufacturing company specializing in heat treatment solutions for metallic parts and components. The company offers a broad portfolio including industrial furnace systems, industrial burner systems, vacuum furnaces, and battery materials, supported by comprehensive global service offerings. Their website reflects a professional B2B focus targeting industrial clients and equipment manufacturers. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Bootstrap framework, and integrates consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and privacy compliance. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is critically flawed with an invalid certificate and no enabled TLS protocols, posing a significant security risk. Security headers are well implemented, but the lack of valid HTTPS severely impacts the security posture. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are present and GDPR compliant. WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain registration with the business identity. Overall, the website is content-rich and professionally presented but requires urgent remediation of its SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions and trust.

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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

AICHELIN Holding operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on industrial heat treatment technology. The company maintains a strong market position as a technology and service leader with a global footprint. Their business model is B2B, serving industrial clients requiring specialized furnace and burner systems. The website content and navigation indicate a mature digital presence with clear product and service segmentation. The company leverages social media channels like LinkedIn and YouTube for brand presence. The domain and subsidiary relationships are consistent with the corporate structure. There is no evidence of direct e-commerce or affiliate marketing, focusing instead on direct industrial sales and service contracts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates partial adherence to security best practices with multiple security headers configured correctly. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that undermine the entire security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be a gap in security transparency. The site uses a reputable hosting provider (Cloudflare) but does not leverage its full security capabilities. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Immediate action is recommended to fix SSL/TLS issues and consider publishing security policies to enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Urgently obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enable TLS 1.2 and 1.3 protocols.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive SEO metadata for improved reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging its CDN and security headers. The tech stack includes Bootstrap for responsive design, JavaScript libraries, and Consentmanager for GDPR cookie compliance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, performance metrics indicate slow loading, possibly due to unoptimized resources or server response times. The CMS is not explicitly identified but appears custom or proprietary. The lack of valid SSL/TLS is a major technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but requires critical security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
