Rhenus operates a professional German-language website focused on secure destruction and disposal services for documents, data carriers, and hard drives. The company positions itself as a leading provider in Germany with over 40 years of experience and multiple security locations. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern technologies including Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, targeting both business and private customers.

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

2 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.

    • 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.

    • 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

Rhenus leverages its strong brand and extensive experience to offer a comprehensive portfolio of destruction and disposal services. The business model focuses on secure handling of sensitive information carriers and office waste management, serving a broad audience including enterprises and private households. The website supports customer engagement through an online shop and customer portals. The company benefits from a global presence via the Rhenus Group network, enhancing market reach and trust. The absence of direct contact details on the main site suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly to ensure security and compliance. The use of structured data and SEO best practices indicates a mature digital marketing approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and integration of consent management tools. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could impact transparency and trust. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of reputable third-party services like Usercentrics and Google Tag Manager are positive indicators. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Tiny Slider and jQuery UI for enhanced user experience. The integration of Solr search suggests advanced search capabilities. Performance is moderate with optimizations for mobile devices and SEO. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS uses epag.net name servers, a known domain registrar. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts and preloads fonts for performance. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website.
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.
