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

Berghof GmbH is a medium-sized, family-owned technology company based in Germany, operating through seven specialized subsidiaries. The company focuses on innovation and knowledge exchange across diverse disciplines, offering products and services in mobility and transport, filtration, industrial applications, laboratory and light measurement technology, environmental solutions, and service & support. Their market position is strong within these sectors, supported by a professional and comprehensive online presence. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses modern web technologies, and implements Google Analytics and Tag Manager for data collection. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with good accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent management in place, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published. WHOIS data is unavailable, which is unusual but the website content and linked subsidiary domains strongly support legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with GDPR, serving a business audience effectively.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

Business profile

Berghof GmbH operates a diversified business model with seven subsidiaries specializing in various technology and industrial sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in their integrated expertise across filtration, automation, fluoroplastics, environmental engineering, and measurement technologies. The company targets industrial clients, automotive, environmental sectors, and laboratory markets. Their digital presence supports recruitment and customer engagement, indicating growth orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries with dedicated domains, enhancing brand coherence and market reach. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales, engineering services, and long-term service contracts. The company emphasizes innovation, quality, and sustainability, positioning itself as a trusted technology partner in Germany and beyond.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures is provided, which could hinder incident response effectiveness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager is transparent and consent-based. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing a security policy and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated contact channels for incident response and vulnerability reporting.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and more detailed privacy disclosures.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The use of modern CSS and JavaScript assets, along with responsive design elements, supports good user experience across devices. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are integrated for data-driven insights. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset delivery and caching. No hosting provider information was detected. The site structure is clear and SEO-friendly, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and landmarks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for incremental improvements.
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.
