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

CLAAS is a leading global manufacturer specializing in agricultural machinery including tractors, combine harvesters, forage harvesters, telehandlers, and balers. The company targets farmers, agricultural businesses, and machinery dealers primarily in Germany and internationally. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern Angular-based infrastructure, integration of consent management via Usercentrics, and analytics through Google Tag Manager. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and Content Security Policy, though additional headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear GDPR adherence and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract from the overall legitimacy and professionalism of the site. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and maintaining up-to-date compliance practices.

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

4 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

CLAAS operates in the manufacturing and transportation sectors, focusing on agricultural machinery. The company holds a strong market position as a trusted brand with a comprehensive product portfolio. Their business model revolves around manufacturing, sales, and after-sales services. The website content and structure indicate a focus on enterprise-level customers and dealers. The digital ecosystem includes partnerships with Microsoft for mapping services and Usercentrics for privacy management. The company demonstrates a commitment to compliance and user experience, supporting growth and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS, Content Security Policy, and consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site lacks some recommended security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not prominently available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for a corporate website, supporting data protection and user privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts and procedures on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework with custom components (claas-nx- prefix), indicating a modern single-page application architecture. It leverages external services such as Microsoft Azure Maps and Usercentrics for enhanced functionality. The site uses a CDN for static assets and custom branded fonts for consistent branding. Performance is optimized with preconnect and dns-prefetch hints. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA considerations. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a proprietary or custom CMS solution by Arvato Systems Digital GmbH. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience.
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.
