Risk levelHigh

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

AKE Systemtechnik GmbH is a German-based company specializing in process automation solutions for manufacturing industries. Their website presents a professional image with detailed descriptions of their competencies, technologies, and project references, targeting industrial clients seeking automation and efficiency improvements. The company offers a range of services including planning, development, manufacturing, programming, maintenance, and retooling, with a focus on robotics, conveyor technology, and custom fixtures. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented via Cookiebot. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though no explicit contact emails or phone numbers are visible on the homepage. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent in place, but lacks explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the professional presentation and content quality support legitimacy. Overall, the site is suitable for its B2B audience with room for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

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. 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

  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"

    • 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';…

  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 · 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 company positions itself as a specialist in industrial process automation, serving manufacturing sectors such as automotive and battery production. Their business model is B2B, focusing on engineering and integration of automation systems. The website highlights completed projects and references, indicating active market engagement. The absence of direct contact details suggests a controlled lead generation approach via contact forms. The company leverages modern web technologies and SEO practices to maintain visibility. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are listed, and no certifications are displayed, which could be areas for future growth and trust building.

Security posture

AKE Systemtechnik GmbH maintains a basic but effective security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No security.txt or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency for vulnerability reporting. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to use extensive third-party analytics or tracking, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve trust and communication.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security or quality certifications such as ISO 27001 to enhance credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize security risks and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported technical stack. It uses jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie management and consent. The site is mobile-optimized and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Accessibility features are basic but present. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and possibly a performance audit to optimize loading times 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.
