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)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on steel slit strip processing, targeting industrial clients. Its business model is B2B with a strong emphasis on quality and customer engagement, reflected in its reputation and long-standing market presence. The affiliation with the Niedax Group enhances its credibility and market reach. The website highlights key services and business partners, indicating a stable partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent investments and participation in industry events. The company maintains a professional online presence with multilingual support, catering primarily to German-speaking clients but also offering English content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. A cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern frameworks and CMS suggests a maintained technical environment, but the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a minor security shortfall. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and embedded content for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Yootheme and UIkit frameworks, providing a modern and responsive design. The presence of FontAwesome icons and embedded YouTube videos enriches the user interface. Cookie consent is managed via CCM19, a German cookie consent tool, indicating compliance with EU regulations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain uses arcor-ip.de nameservers, suggesting stable German hosting. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed but could benefit from further enhancements.
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.
