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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

Böllhoff operates in the manufacturing and transportation sectors, providing essential fastening and assembly technologies. Their business model is B2B, serving industrial manufacturers and automotive suppliers worldwide. The company holds reputable ISO certifications, indicating a commitment to quality and environmental standards. The website content and structure suggest a mature organization with a global footprint, focusing on innovation and customer-centric solutions. Marketing and analytics tools are used responsibly, with clear privacy policies. The absence of detailed company founding year or parent company information limits deeper business intelligence. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Use of Cloudflare services adds an additional security layer. Cookie consent and privacy management are implemented via Usercentrics, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and incident response contact reduces transparency. No signs of malware or phishing were found. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add an incident response page or contact channel dedicated to security incidents.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet compliance standards.
  4. Consider publishing domain registration details or ensuring WHOIS data is available to improve trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical stack supports a professional and secure user experience with room for enhancements in accessibility and transparency.
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.
