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

Berufsgenossenschaft Rohstoffe und Chemische Industrie (BG RCI) is a statutory accident insurance institution in Germany serving sectors such as mining, chemical industry, paper manufacturing, leather, sugar, and construction materials. The organization provides accident insurance, prevention, rehabilitation, and consulting services focused on occupational safety and health. The website targets entrepreneurs and insured members within these industries, offering information, publications, and access to online services such as a member portal. The site is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses modern JavaScript libraries and Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the website suffers from a critical security deficiency due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the site is content-rich and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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"

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 RCI holds an important position as a statutory accident insurance provider in Germany, focusing on niche industrial sectors. Its business model is non-profit and government-oriented, providing essential insurance and prevention services. The website content and structure reflect a well-established organization with a large user base. The presence of social media channels and a dedicated extranet for members indicates active engagement and digital service delivery. The organization leverages partnerships with DGUV and other industry bodies. Growth indicators include regular publications, events, and training seminars. The lack of HTTPS may impact user trust and digital service adoption, representing a key area for strategic improvement.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability for any modern website, especially one handling sensitive insurance and personal data. No HTTP security headers are implemented, and no advanced SSL features like HSTS or OCSP stapling are enabled. DNS records show proper SPF and DMARC configurations, reducing email spoofing risks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which may indicate limited transparency in security governance. The site uses no vulnerable libraries but lacks modern security best practices. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to mitigate risks and comply with data protection regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and enhance privacy compliance.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and Flexslider for UI components. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-conscious tracking. Hosting is provided by Schlundtech, a known German hosting provider. The site has a slow load time (~11 seconds) and a large number of resources (143), indicating potential for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive CSS and mobile-specific sliders. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical debt and risk. DNS configuration is mostly sound with SPF and DMARC records. The site lacks modern TLS protocols and session security features, which should be addressed promptly.
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.
