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

BFT GmbH is an Austrian owner-managed company specializing in manufacturing and supplying high-pressure pumps and accessories for waterjet cutting technology. Positioned as the only independent global supplier in this niche, BFT offers innovative ready-to-use solutions and emphasizes quality, sustainability, and customer service. The website reflects a professional industrial business targeting companies requiring advanced waterjet cutting equipment. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tracking technologies, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA integration, though lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which raises some legitimacy concerns, but the business references and content support authenticity. Overall, the site is trustworthy with room for security and compliance improvements.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

  3. 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"

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

BFT GmbH operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on energy-efficient high-pressure pumps for waterjet cutting. Their business model revolves around product sales, OEM solutions, and comprehensive technical support. The company benefits from being owner-managed, which allows personalized service and reliable support. The parent company is the Aichhorn Group, indicating a stable corporate backing. The website targets industrial clients globally, emphasizing sustainability and innovation. Marketing efforts include free industry reports and multilingual support. The presence of multiple analytics and retargeting tools suggests active digital marketing strategies. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual but may be due to privacy or recent registration. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and legal documentation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of security headers like 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. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. GDPR compliance is partially met with a privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate with clear areas for enhancement to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to build trust and demonstrate preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, leveraging popular plugins such as Contact Form 7, WPML for multilingual support, and Slick Carousel for UI elements. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with video content and multiple external scripts potentially impacting load times. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
