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

Berghof Process Control & Logistics GmbH is a specialized provider of management systems tailored for logistics terminals, repair workshops, and container yards. Their solutions, such as BLU and IBIS, focus on process control and safety systems, serving a niche market primarily in transportation and logistics sectors. The company is part of the Berghof Group and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, indicating a commitment to quality management. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets logistics operators and industrial clients. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, employs modern web standards, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. It is mobile-optimized and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie consent mechanisms. However, some security headers are missing, which could be improved to enhance security posture. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. Security-wise, the site shows good practices such as consent management and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a concern for domain legitimacy, but the professional presentation and business consistency mitigate this risk. No incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business presence with moderate technical maturity and good privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, WHOIS transparency, and incident response information would strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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
    • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Berghof Process Control & Logistics operates in a specialized segment of the transportation and logistics industry, providing software and system solutions for terminal operating systems and safety management. Their business model is B2B, focusing on industrial clients such as rail freight operators and container terminal managers. The company leverages its ISO certification and customer testimonials to build trust and differentiate from competitors. The parent company relationship with Berghof Gruppe suggests a stable backing. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with clear marketing and communication strategies targeting logistics professionals. Growth potential lies in expanding digital solutions and maintaining compliance with evolving regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant consent mechanism. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which should be addressed. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and improved domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and cookie usage to maintain GDPR compliance and minimize privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and perform ongoing performance optimization to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. No hosting provider details were identified. The absence of security headers is a technical gap. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could be enhanced with security and performance optimizations.
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.
