Risk levelHigh

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

Dr. Aichhorn GmbH operates as a group focused on developing and optimizing companies within the investment goods industry, particularly in manufacturing high-pressure technology and sustainable forestry. The group includes subsidiaries specializing in high-pressure equipment for chemical and petrochemical industries, high-pressure pumps, and thermal separation apparatus. Their market position is strong in Europe with global operations in their niche sectors. The website presents a professional image with clear business descriptions and contact information, targeting industrial clients and partners. Technically, the website uses Bootstrap for responsive design and Typekit for fonts, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented to comply with GDPR. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident, and no analytics or tracking beyond cookie consent is detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from URL), but no explicit security headers or policies are visible. The cookie consent banner is a positive privacy compliance indicator. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and compliant with basic privacy requirements but could enhance its security posture and technical sophistication to improve trust and resilience.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Dr. Aichhorn Group is positioned as a medium-sized industrial holding company specializing in investment goods manufacturing, including high-pressure technology and sustainable forestry. Their subsidiaries are leaders in their respective niches, such as BHDT for high-pressure systems and BFT for high-pressure pumps. The business model focuses on developing and optimizing these companies for future growth. The target customers are industrial clients in chemical, petrochemical, and forestry sectors. The group maintains a clear partnership ecosystem with dedicated websites for subsidiaries. Growth indicators include diversified industrial sectors and sustainability focus. The company maintains professional contact channels and a clear brand identity, supporting credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web threats. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency in security management. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit monitoring capabilities. The absence of forms reduces attack surface but also limits user interaction. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with standards.
  4. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and detect anomalies.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with Bootstrap for layout and Typekit for fonts, ensuring a consistent visual style. CookieConsent.js is used for GDPR compliance. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal, and no forms or interactive elements are present. Hosting provider and SSL details are not disclosed in the content. The site could benefit from modernization including improved SEO, accessibility, and performance optimizations.
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.
