Bernd Gruber GmbH operates as a boutique interior design and craftsmanship firm based in Austria, specializing in high-end interior architecture and handcrafted furniture. The company leverages a rich heritage of 60 years in woodworking combined with 20 years of interior design experience, targeting affluent clients seeking bespoke design solutions. Their business model includes both service delivery through projects and product sales via an online shop. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation, supporting their market positioning as a premium provider in the real estate and hospitality sectors.
Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted on Conova infrastructure, utilizing modern web technologies such as SVG graphics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. However, the site suffers from a critical security shortfall due to the absence of HTTPS, which severely impacts its security posture. Performance metrics are not optimal, indicating room for improvement in loading speed and technical optimization. Mobile responsiveness and SEO are adequately addressed.
Security-wise, the lack of SSL/TLS encryption is a major vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers are present, the overall security configuration is basic and requires urgent enhancement. Privacy compliance is well managed with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and clear privacy policy, aligning with GDPR requirements. Contact information is transparent and easily accessible, enhancing business credibility.
Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front but must prioritize implementing HTTPS and improving security configurations to protect user data and maintain compliance. Strategic recommendations include securing the site with a valid SSL certificate, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing security headers. These steps will significantly improve the site's security score and user trust, supporting the company's premium market positioning.

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 requires appropriate security measures for personal data
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
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.

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.

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

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
Bernd Gruber GmbH holds a strong niche in the Austrian interior design and craftsmanship market, combining traditional woodworking expertise with modern interior architecture. Their competitive advantage lies in their heritage and integrated approach to design and production. Revenue streams include bespoke interior design projects and branded product sales through an online shop. The target customer segment is upscale private and commercial clients valuing quality and craftsmanship. The company maintains an active presence in press and social media, supporting brand visibility and market reach. Growth indicators include recent press publications and sponsorships. The partnership ecosystem includes digital marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and HubSpot. Operationally, the company demonstrates a mature digital presence but requires technical upgrades to support scalability and security.
Security posture
The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability exposing all data transmissions to interception. The website implements some security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options but lacks comprehensive security best practices like HSTS, CSP, and modern TLS support. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are evident, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is strong with a detailed cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy. The lack of SSL undermines user trust and compliance with modern security standards. Immediate remediation is necessary to secure communications and protect user data. The security culture appears basic, with no visible advanced security frameworks or certifications.
Recommendations
Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
Upgrade server to support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.
The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, hosted on Conova infrastructure, and served via nginx web server. The tech stack includes SVG for graphics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integration. DNS records are properly configured with SPF for email protection. However, the site lacks HTTPS, severely impacting security and user trust. Performance data is missing, but the page size and resource count suggest potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical debt includes outdated SSL configuration and missing modern security practices, which pose risks to business operations and compliance.
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.
