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

4 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: ms98171157.msv1.invalid

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention bartec.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for bartec.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context

Business profile

BARTEC operates as an essential entity in the explosion protection sector with a long-standing history since 1975. Its business model focuses on B2B sales of specialized safety products and customized solutions for hazardous areas, supported by consulting, engineering, and after-sales services. The company targets industrial clients in energy, manufacturing, and chemical sectors, leveraging a global partner network and digital training platforms to enhance customer engagement. The website's content and structure indicate a strong market position as a world market leader, with consistent branding and trust signals such as compliance policies and quality management. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, enhancing security and privacy. BARTEC's digital ecosystem includes multiple external domains for e-commerce, training, and virtual brand experiences, reflecting a diversified and integrated approach to customer interaction.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and use of privacy-respecting analytics tools like Matomo. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate areas for improvement. The use of multiple third-party marketing and tracking scripts is managed via consent mechanisms, aligning with privacy regulations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving header configurations to mitigate advanced threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing incident response procedures and contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and provide clear user information on analytics data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The integration of modern JavaScript modules, responsive design, and SEO-friendly meta tags demonstrates good technical implementation. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but DNS servers suggest a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in script loading and caching strategies. Mobile optimization and accessibility are excellent, ensuring broad user reach. The technical stack supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and performance tuning.
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.
