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

7 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

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Baumit GmbH operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on building materials for facades, insulation, and interior finishing. Its business model revolves around product innovation, regional manufacturing, and distribution across Europe. The company leverages a strong brand and extensive product portfolio to serve both B2B and B2C markets. Revenue streams likely include product sales, consulting services, and technical support. The company demonstrates growth through international expansion and digital engagement via blogs, magazines, and online tools like the ColorDesigner. Partnerships with digital content platforms and marketing tools indicate a mature ecosystem supporting customer engagement and sales. Strategically, Baumit maintains a strong foothold in Austria with regional manufacturing sites and a parent company (Schmid Industrieholding) backing its operations. The website content and structure support a customer-centric approach with clear navigation, product categorization, and service offerings tailored to professional and private customers.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google Consent Mode for privacy compliance. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates attention to secure form submissions. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS in the provided data suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of publicly available security policy or incident response information may limit transparency and readiness perception. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security governance documents to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance aligned with evolving regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack combining jQuery, Vue.js, Bootstrap, and various JavaScript libraries for UI components like carousels and lazy loading. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Analytics indicates active user behavior tracking with privacy controls. The site is built on a custom CMS or page builder platform, allowing flexible content management. Performance is moderate with optimizations like font preloading and lazy loading images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for organization and website schema. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and accessibility further.
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.
