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

Brändle Präzisionsteile GmbH is a specialized German manufacturing company focusing on precision machining techniques such as honing and deep hole drilling. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality precision parts and offers services including quality assurance and consulting. Their market position is that of a niche precision parts manufacturer with a clear B2B business model. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses common analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, eTracker, and Cookiebot for consent management. Hosting appears to be provided by 1&1 IONOS, inferred from nameservers. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though accessibility is basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options are not evident in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong privacy compliance and business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and maintaining up-to-date software to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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

5 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 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 operates in the manufacturing sector, specializing in precision parts production with services like honing and deep hole drilling. Their competitive advantage lies in technical expertise and quality assurance. The business model is B2B, serving industrial clients likely in automotive, machinery, or related sectors. The website indicates a small-sized company with a focused service portfolio. The presence of social media (Instagram) and structured data suggests a moderate digital maturity. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains compliance with GDPR and uses professional marketing and analytics tools, indicating a growth-oriented approach with attention to privacy and user experience.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No incident response contacts or security policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts (Google Tag Manager, eTracker) is consented but requires ongoing monitoring. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but would benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Bootstrap and jQuery libraries, indicating a standard and widely supported technology stack. It uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management and eTracker alongside Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting is likely provided by 1&1 IONOS, based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and caching mechanisms (WP Rocket). SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, though security header implementation is lacking. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant web presence with room for security hardening.
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.
