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

CLAAS is a leading global manufacturer specializing in agricultural machinery, including tractors, combines, forage harvesters, telehandlers, balers, and digital agricultural solutions. The website targets farmers, agricultural businesses, and equipment dealers primarily in Latvia but also globally. The business model focuses on manufacturing and sales of high-quality agricultural equipment supported by digital innovations. The site reflects a strong market position with consistent branding and comprehensive product information. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Angular and integrates advanced consent management tools like Usercentrics, alongside Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Content-Security-Policy headers, and manages user consent effectively. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enterprise-grade security transparency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and secure with minor gaps in explicit security communication. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the brand's global recognition.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

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 leverages a business model centered on product innovation and digital solutions to maintain competitive advantage. The website serves as a key channel for product information and customer engagement, targeting agricultural professionals and dealers. The presence of multiple social media channels and consent management tools indicates a strategic approach to marketing and compliance. The lack of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or registry restrictions, which is common for large enterprises but warrants verification. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement and Content-Security-Policy headers. Consent management is implemented to comply with GDPR, reducing privacy risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident handling. No security contact emails or abuse channels were found. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adding explicit security governance documentation and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit security contact information for incident reporting and abuse handling.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by including certifications or compliance badges related to security and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework version 19.2.5, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end architecture. Integration with Usercentrics for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics reflects adherence to privacy and marketing best practices. The site uses custom CSS and fonts hosted on CDN, optimizing performance and user experience. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility features are well implemented. No CMS like WordPress or Drupal was detected; the site appears to use a custom CMS by Arvato Systems Digital GmbH. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Performance is fast with good SEO metadata and structured content. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and incident response.
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.
