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

BECOM Electronics GmbH is a medium-sized Austrian company specializing in electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and embedded solutions, serving industries such as automotive, medical technology, and industrial electronics. The company operates internationally with subsidiaries in Germany, Hungary, China, and the USA, positioning itself as a reliable partner for end-to-end electronic product development and production. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence with detailed service offerings and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted likely via Kabelplus infrastructure. It features modern web design, good mobile optimization, and accessibility. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap, despite the presence of some security headers and HSTS configuration. The site uses Google Analytics for user tracking and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support significantly lowers the security posture, exposing users to potential risks. The DNS configuration is mostly sound but lacks DMARC and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced email and DNS security. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, while the business and website demonstrate professionalism and strong market positioning, addressing the critical security issues and enhancing compliance documentation would improve trustworthiness and reduce risk exposure.

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

6 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

    • 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

  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

  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.

    • 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

BECOM Electronics GmbH operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on EMS and embedded solutions. Their business model is B2B, targeting industrial clients requiring high-quality electronic production and development services. The company emphasizes innovation, quality certifications (ISO/IEC 17025), and comprehensive service coverage from R&D to after-sales. Their international subsidiaries indicate a growth-oriented and diversified market approach. The website content and structure support a strong brand image and customer engagement, with clear navigation and multilingual support. The presence of innovation awards and social media engagement further strengthens their market credibility.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. While some security headers are implemented, the lack of modern TLS protocols, OCSP stapling, session resumption, and certificate transparency compliance further degrade security. The DNS setup is functional but missing DMARC and DNSSEC, which are important for email and DNS security. No published security policy or incident response information reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the site is vulnerable to interception and spoofing attacks, and improvements are urgently needed to meet modern security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure all web traffic.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable outdated or insecure protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Configure DMARC and DNSSEC to enhance email and DNS security.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers and certificates to maintain best practices.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance by documenting data retention policies and providing a data protection officer contact if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, supported by Apache web server. The site includes modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript assets, with lazy loading for images and responsive design for mobile devices. DNS records are well configured with multiple A records and SPF for email authentication. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and HTTPS is a major technical deficiency. Performance is moderate with no explicit load time data but optimized assets and caching headers are present. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, language attributes, and ARIA roles. Hosting appears to be with Kabelplus, an Austrian ISP, consistent with the business location.
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.
