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. 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

  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

  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.

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

The company holds a strong market position as one of the top 10 non-corporate steel service centers in Germany, leveraging its affiliation with the Niedax Group to access national and international supply markets. Its business model focuses on providing steel products and processing services under an 'all-in-one' principle. The presence of a sister company, Bandstahl-Service-Hagen GmbH, further strengthens its supply chain and market reach. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on industrial clients requiring customized steel solutions. Growth indicators include participation in industry events and investments by the parent group.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and CSRF token usage. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit incident response or security policy pages suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is mostly addressed via a comprehensive privacy policy, but the missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency regarding tracking.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Uikit front-end framework, indicating a modern and maintainable technology stack. The use of SVG logos and responsive images supports good performance and visual quality. Hosting is managed via rzone.de, a known hosting provider. The site loads moderately fast and is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Embedded third-party content (YouTube video via ccm19.de) is integrated securely. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, representing areas for technical improvement.
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.
