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

Berghof Umweltengineering is a specialized environmental engineering company focused on the assessment, remediation, and revitalization of large land areas and industrial complexes. The company operates primarily in Germany and is part of the larger Berghof Gruppe. Their key services include contaminated site management, building demolition, land recycling, and soil-related construction supervision. The website is professionally designed, bilingual (German and English), and provides detailed service descriptions and contact information, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with a solid market position in the environmental sector. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses Piwik (Matomo) for analytics, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and structured for good user experience, although some improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS, but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and overall security posture. The WHOIS data is notably missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance and corporate contact details. This discrepancy suggests the need for further verification of domain registration status. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy business front but should address privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Berghof Umweltengineering holds a niche position in the environmental engineering market, targeting businesses and organizations requiring specialized services in contaminated site management and land revitalization. Their business model is service-oriented, leveraging technical expertise and project management capabilities. The company benefits from being part of the Berghof Gruppe, which likely provides additional resources and market reach. The website indicates active engagement with clients through detailed service offerings and contact points, but lacks visible certifications or awards that could further strengthen market credibility. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance transparency. Partnerships appear limited to the parent company, with no evident external alliances or subsidiaries listed. Revenue streams are presumably project-based consulting and engineering services. The absence of social media presence may limit marketing reach. Overall, the company demonstrates stable operations with potential for digital and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security certifications was found, indicating limited formal security governance. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and incomplete privacy compliance features could expose the company to GDPR-related risks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, while the site is not evidently vulnerable, it would benefit from implementing security best practices and compliance measures to strengthen its security posture and reduce potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness of the domain.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.
  5. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The use of Piwik (Matomo) analytics shows a preference for privacy-respecting analytics tools. The site loads multiple compressed CSS and JavaScript assets, suggesting some optimization efforts. However, no advanced modern frontend frameworks or CDNs were detected, which could improve performance and scalability. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive design elements present. SEO is basic with meta keywords and descriptions but lacks structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. No hosting provider information was discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
