BAUER Foundation Corp. · Manufacturing · United States

Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

54/100

Risk levelMedium

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

BAUER Foundation Corp. is a specialized foundation engineering company operating globally as part of the BAUER Group. The company offers comprehensive geotechnical solutions, construction methods, and equipment services, targeting clients with complex foundation engineering needs. Their mature domain and extensive content reflect a well-established market presence. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with modern CSS frameworks but suffers from slow load times and lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Security posture is weak due to missing SSL certificates, absence of security headers, and no DNSSEC or HSTS implementation. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional and credible but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

The company positions itself as a leader in specialist foundation engineering with a broad portfolio including excavation, soil improvement, and environmental technologies. Their business model is B2B, serving construction and engineering sectors worldwide. The presence of multiple subsidiary domains and strong social media links indicates a robust partnership ecosystem and brand consistency. Revenue streams likely include engineering services, equipment sales, and consulting. Growth indicators include recent content updates and downloadable brochures. Strategic observations suggest a focus on innovation and reliability to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS and critical security headers. This exposes the website and its users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Compliance gaps exist in GDPR cookie consent mechanisms, and no incident response or security policy information is publicly available. The lack of DNSSEC and domain protection locks further increases risk. The business impact of these vulnerabilities could be significant, affecting customer trust and regulatory compliance. Incident response readiness appears minimal, with no dedicated security contacts found.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent certificate misuse.
  5. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS with Tailwind CSS and modern JavaScript modules, indicating a modern tech stack. However, performance is slow with a load time exceeding 7 seconds and a large number of resources (74). The site is mobile optimized and accessible with skip links and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting is provided by Deutsche Telekom AG, a reputable provider. Technical debt includes missing HTTPS and security headers, which are critical risks. Modernization opportunities include performance optimization and enhanced security configurations to reduce business risk.
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.
