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

cadwork informatik GmbH operates a professional website focused on providing 3D-CAD/CAM software solutions primarily for the wood construction and carpentry industries. With over 30 years of experience and an international customer base, the company positions itself as a reliable and established software provider. The website content is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets German-speaking European customers, particularly in Austria. The business model centers on software sales, training courses, and support services, supported by a consistent brand presence and clear contact information. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Materialize CSS for responsive design and user experience. Hosting is likely provided by IONOS SE, as indicated by the registrar and nameservers. The site demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and basic accessibility features. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented with opt-in for Google Analytics, reflecting a commitment to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses essential security cookies like CSRF tokens and PHP session IDs. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, and security headers beyond HTTPS are not evident. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website content, supporting domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a secure, professional, and privacy-conscious digital presence suitable for its business sector. Strategic improvements could include publishing formal security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and adding security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

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

3 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

    • 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. 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

cadwork informatik GmbH holds a strong market position in the niche of 3D-CAD/CAM software for wood construction and carpentry, serving a broad international customer base. Their competitive advantage lies in over three decades of domain expertise, a comprehensive software suite, and training offerings. The business model is primarily B2B software sales complemented by educational services. The company targets professional woodworkers, carpenters, and construction firms requiring integrated design-to-fabrication solutions. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as cadwork.de and kb.cadwork.ch, which provide additional support and knowledge resources. Growth indicators include a multilingual website and international customer references. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure session management, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. The presence of CSRF protection cookies indicates attention to common web security threats. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of Google Analytics is managed with user consent, reflecting privacy awareness. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not detected, which could enhance protection against clickjacking and content injection. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add an incident response contact or dedicated page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website security by adding HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

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.
