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

Berufsgenossenschaft Energie Textil Elektro Medienerzeugnisse (BG ETEM) is a German statutory accident insurance institution serving sectors including energy, textiles, electronics, and media. The organization provides prevention, rehabilitation, compensation, and member services to insured companies and individuals. The website reflects a well-structured, content-rich platform targeting employers, insured persons, and safety professionals with comprehensive information and resources. Technically, the site is built on the Plone CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery, integrating Matomo analytics and Cookiefirst for consent management. However, the site lacks HTTPS encryption, which is a critical security deficiency. No security headers or modern TLS protocols are configured, exposing the site to potential risks. Privacy and legal compliance are well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and ensure compliance with modern standards.

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.

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

Business context

Business profile

BG ETEM holds a strong market position as a statutory insurance provider in Germany, focusing on occupational safety and health in specific industries. Its business model revolves around prevention, rehabilitation, and financial security for insured members. The website supports this model by offering detailed information, training, and media resources. The organization maintains active social media channels to engage stakeholders. The technical infrastructure, while functional, shows signs of legacy configurations and slow performance, indicating opportunities for modernization. The absence of SSL/TLS and security policies suggests a gap in cybersecurity maturity. Partnerships appear limited to internal domains and related service providers. Growth potential lies in digital transformation and enhanced security posture.

Security posture

The security posture of the BG ETEM website is currently weak due to the absence of HTTPS, lack of security headers, and no support for modern TLS protocols. These issues expose the site and its users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the lack of incident response contacts and security policies indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies shows awareness of data protection, but technical security controls need urgent enhancement. Implementing SSL/TLS, security headers, and regular security audits are critical to improving the site's security maturity and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across all site pages immediately.
  2. Configure essential security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan including dedicated contact channels.
  5. Optimize website performance by reducing resource count and improving load times to enhance user experience and SEO.

Notes

The website is built on the Plone CMS platform using Bootstrap 4.6 and jQuery libraries, with Matomo analytics for visitor tracking and Cookiefirst for cookie consent management. The site is hosted on an IP address in Germany but lacks HTTPS, which is a significant technical risk. The page load time is slow (13.7 seconds) with a high number of resources (144) and a page size of approximately 262 KB. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, with responsive design and accessibility features present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols and security headers indicates outdated server configuration. Technical debt is evident in the slow performance and missing security controls, suggesting a need for infrastructure modernization and security hardening.
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.
