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

Boom Software is an established software company specializing in innovative solutions for maintenance, service, and production management across selected industrial sectors such as transportation, manufacturing, and energy. With over 25 years of experience, the company offers tailored software products including Maintenance Manager, Production Manager, and Rail Solutions, targeting niche markets like rail and public transport. The website reflects a professional digital presence with comprehensive content and clear business focus. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, exposing users to potential risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the company demonstrates strong business credibility but must urgently address its SSL/TLS configuration to improve security posture and user 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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

The company positions itself as a specialist in industry-specific software solutions, leveraging deep sector knowledge to provide competitive advantages to clients. Its business model focuses on software sales, customization, and consulting services for lifecycle and production management. The presence of multiple offices in Austria and Germany indicates a medium-sized enterprise with regional reach. The website showcases customer references and partner programs, enhancing market credibility. Marketing efforts include active social media engagement and newsletter campaigns. The domain's maturity and consistent WHOIS data support the legitimacy of the business. However, the lack of visible security certifications or incident response policies suggests room for maturity in security governance.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines user data protection and trust. While some security headers like Strict-Transport-Security are present, they are ineffective without HTTPS. Cookies are set with secure and HttpOnly flags, indicating some security awareness. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected, but the absence of modern TLS protocols and OCSP stapling reduces security and performance. No dedicated security or incident response pages were found, limiting transparency on security practices. The company should prioritize SSL deployment and enhance security policies to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Enhance security headers including full HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  6. Regularly audit website and plugin security to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  8. Improve accessibility features and mobile optimization for better user experience.
  9. Consider obtaining recognized security certifications to strengthen trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, supplemented by Unlimited Elements and other plugins. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and uses Cloudflare as a CDN provider. The site is multilingual with WPML plugin support. Performance data is unavailable, but the site appears well-structured and mobile responsive. However, the absence of HTTPS and SSL is a major technical deficiency. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks but lacks advanced performance optimizations such as caching headers beyond Cloudflare's cache. The technical stack is standard for SME websites but requires urgent security upgrades to align with best practices.
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.
