Security score

30/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Berendsohn AG operates a multi-country retail or distribution business with a web presence targeting several European countries. The website analyzed is a country selection landing page, indicating a segmented approach to regional markets. The company appears established with a consistent brand presence but limited publicly visible business details on this page. Technically, the site uses a combination of Bootstrap 4 alpha, jQuery, and other common JavaScript libraries, with integration of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking. The site shows basic mobile optimization and moderate performance but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is assumed but no explicit security headers were detected, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

12 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

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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

Berendsohn AG targets multiple European markets with localized country sites, suggesting a B2B or B2C retail distribution model. The company leverages standard web technologies and third-party analytics for marketing insights. The lack of visible contact or compliance information on this landing page limits transparency but does not contradict a legitimate business operation. The company likely benefits from regional brand recognition and a structured market approach. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided. The business model appears focused on regional segmentation and customer localization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with assumed HTTPS usage and anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, and no security certifications are visible. The site does not display privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance risk under GDPR for European users. The form present is minimal and does not collect sensitive data, reducing immediate risk. Overall, security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS site-wide with HSTS header
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms
  3. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency
  5. Include clear contact information and data protection officer details to enhance trust and compliance

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a somewhat outdated Bootstrap 4 alpha framework alongside jQuery and Swiper 3.4.2, which may limit modern responsiveness and performance optimizations. The use of Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel indicates standard marketing tracking but also raises privacy compliance considerations. The site loads external scripts from reputable CDNs, which supports performance but requires monitoring for supply chain risks. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident, limiting infrastructure insights. The site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility but lacks advanced SEO metadata or structured data. Technical debt is moderate, with opportunities to modernize frameworks and improve security configurations.
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.
