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

CeramOptec® GmbH is a medium-sized German manufacturing company specializing in the production of specialty optical fibers, fiber bundles, cables, and assemblies for industrial, medical, and scientific applications. With over 35 years of experience, the company positions itself as a pioneer offering tailored fiber optic solutions to a diverse industrial clientele. Their product portfolio includes preforms, custom fibers, fiber bundles, and vacuum feedthroughs, supported by a strong presence in trade shows and industry publications. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, providing a responsive and well-structured user experience. The site employs modern analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, integrated with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Performance and SEO are moderate to good, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent for privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and incident response contact details are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces trust slightly, though the professional presentation and detailed business information support legitimacy. Overall, CeramOptec's digital presence reflects a mature business with solid technical infrastructure and privacy compliance, but it would benefit from enhanced security practices and transparency in domain registration details.

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

CeramOptec operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on specialty optical fibers and related assemblies. Their business model is B2B, targeting industrial and scientific customers requiring customized fiber optic solutions. The company leverages its 35+ years of expertise to maintain a competitive advantage through product quality, customization, and participation in industry events. Revenue streams likely include product sales and custom project development. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and certifications such as ISO 9001, indicating quality management. Partnerships and related domains were not explicitly identified, suggesting a focused operational scope. Growth indicators include active press releases and trade show participation, supporting market visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

CeramOptec's website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or abuse contact information is publicly available, which is a gap in security transparency. The use of third-party analytics and chat tools introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain trustworthiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery, indicating a modern and maintainable technology stack. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism to respect user privacy. The site is responsive and performs moderately well, though no explicit hosting provider information was found. The HTML is well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO. However, the absence of security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for technical improvement. The domain's missing WHOIS data is a technical anomaly that should be addressed to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk.
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.
