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

Paul Bauder AG operates as a leading European manufacturer specializing in roofing systems including flat roofs, green roofs, and pitched roofs. The company offers integrated solutions encompassing sealing, insulation, and greening of roofs, targeting architects, planners, processors, dealers, and both industrial and private builders. Their market position is strong with a presence in 16 countries and over 1,100 employees, reflecting a mature and established business model focused on manufacturing and distribution. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Usercentrics for consent management. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, with comprehensive SEO practices. The use of Google Tag Manager and YouTube API indicates a mature digital infrastructure supporting marketing and analytics. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs consent management for cookies and tracking, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and lack of explicit security and incident response policies suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though the malformed WHOIS data limits domain trust verification. Strategic recommendations include enhancing HTTP security headers, publishing security policies, and adding a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

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

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

Paul Bauder AG holds a leading position in the European roofing manufacturing sector, offering a broad portfolio of roofing and insulation products with associated consulting and planning services. Their business model is primarily B2B and B2C manufacturing and distribution, targeting a diverse audience including architects, planners, and various builder segments. The company benefits from a strong international presence and brand consistency across multiple country-specific websites. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media engagement and newsletter communications, supporting customer retention and brand awareness. Growth indicators include product innovation (e.g., ecological insulation materials) and expansion into photovoltaic and green roof systems. Partnerships with related domains and international subsidiaries reinforce their market reach and operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a robust consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. The absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a security gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks were found. The lack of published security policies and incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or ensure domain registration information is complete and accurate to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and scalable content management system, supported by jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for UI and consent management. The site uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. The site structure is well-organized with clear navigation and multilingual support. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and domain registration transparency.
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.
