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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  4. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention claytec.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for claytec.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

ClayTec operates in the real estate and manufacturing sectors, focusing on eco-friendly building materials made from natural clay. Their business model includes manufacturing, distribution via building material trade, and providing technical support and training. The company maintains strong industry ties through memberships in relevant associations, enhancing its market position. The website's multilingual support and extensive content indicate a mature digital strategy aimed at broadening market reach. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and technical services. The partnership ecosystem includes distributors and application specialists. Strategic observations highlight ClayTec's commitment to sustainability and innovation, positioning it well in the growing green construction market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management via Borlabs Cookie, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Analytics is transparent and consent-based. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to foster trust and readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but can benefit from additional hardening and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.0, Splide.js for sliders, GSAP for animations, and Google MarkerClustererPlus for map clustering. SEO is managed via Rank Math PRO plugin, and multilingual support is provided by WPML. Cookie management is handled by Borlabs Cookie plugin, ensuring GDPR compliance. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy (domaincontrol.com nameservers). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. Some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security headers and potential plugin update needs. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and suitable for the business scale, with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
