BORBET GmbH · Manufacturing · Germany

High risk. 7 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 2 other checks.

Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

BORBET GmbH is a large, internationally oriented family-owned manufacturer specializing in aluminum alloy wheels for the automotive industry and specialist trade. The company offers a comprehensive product range including a 3D wheel configurator and operates both B2B and B2C sales channels. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content targeting automotive customers and partners. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with common JavaScript libraries but lacks modern SSL/TLS security, which is a critical vulnerability. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and clear privacy policy. Contact information and social media presence enhance business credibility. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and TLS protocols significantly undermines the security posture, exposing users to risks. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment and security best practices are urgently recommended.

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

    • 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 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

BORBET holds a strong market position as a trusted manufacturer of alloy wheels with multiple subsidiaries in Germany and Austria. Their business model combines manufacturing with direct and partner sales, supported by digital tools like configurators and online shops. The company targets automotive OEMs, specialist retailers, and end consumers. Their compliance and whistleblowing systems indicate a mature governance structure. The website's content and structure support customer engagement and recruitment efforts, reflecting a growth-oriented and transparent business approach.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical for secure communications. While security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection are present, the absence of HTTPS exposes users to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency. DNSSEC is disabled and CAA records are malformed, indicating gaps in domain security. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and domain security configurations is necessary to protect business and customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable insecure legacy protocols to strengthen encryption.
  3. Fully enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Correct DNS CAA records and consider enabling DNSSEC to improve domain security.
  5. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an Apache server with a custom CMS and uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and SlidesJS. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features at a basic level. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site structure and scripts suggest moderate performance. The lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a significant technical risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
