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

8 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

  3. 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.

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

ARWEI operates in the manufacturing sector focusing on building accessories, specifically floor mats and recessed matting systems. Their business model revolves around direct sales and custom manufacturing, catering primarily to professional audiences such as architects and planners. The company leverages its long-standing market presence and certifications to maintain a premium brand image. Their digital presence includes social media engagement and a comprehensive website offering detailed product information and planning aids. The company does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies listed, indicating an independent operation. Growth indicators include a broad product range and emphasis on sustainability with circular economy messaging.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. Use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-respecting approach to user tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and related plugins for UI components like sliders and tooltips. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a focus on privacy. The site loads external scripts from trusted CDNs and hosts images and CSS locally. The hosting provider appears to be your-server.de, a German hosting service, consistent with the company's location. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, though jQuery Migrate usage suggests some legacy code support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and well-maintained.
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.
