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

Container Terminal Halle (Saale) GmbH operates as a regional logistics and transportation service provider specializing in container terminal operations, rail services, and combined transport solutions. The company is part of the larger Stadtwerke Halle GmbH (SWH) group, which encompasses multiple energy and infrastructure-related subsidiaries. The website reflects a professional business presence targeting logistics customers primarily in Germany, with a focus on the Halle (Saale) region. Technically, the website employs a traditional tech stack including jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr, and Slick Carousel, managed via the SixCMS platform. It integrates modern consent management through Usercentrics and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and provides clear navigation and relevant content, although some libraries are outdated. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management for cookies, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website content, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a solid business and technical foundation with room for improvement in security transparency and modernization. The risk profile is low, with recommendations focusing on enhancing security policies, updating libraries, and improving accessibility.

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. 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

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

The company is positioned as a key regional player in logistics and transportation within the SWH group ecosystem. Its competitive advantage lies in integrated container terminal and rail services, serving businesses requiring efficient freight solutions. Revenue streams likely derive from terminal handling, rail transport, and combined logistics services. The target customers are commercial clients in the transport and logistics sector. The website's linkage to multiple SWH group subsidiaries indicates a strong partnership ecosystem and potential cross-service opportunities. Growth indicators include active communication channels and compliance transparency. Strategic observations suggest leveraging digital tools and expanding service visibility could enhance market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and cookie consent is managed via a reputable CMP (Usercentrics). However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. The use of older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.3 may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. Data protection practices appear compliant with GDPR, supported by a comprehensive privacy policy. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security culture is present but could be strengthened with formal documentation and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SixCMS and uses a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.11.3, jQuery UI 1.10.4, and Modernizr 2.8.2. It integrates slick carousel for UI components and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. Matomo is used for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS breakpoints and includes accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by updating libraries and optimizing assets. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but nameservers point to evh.de, a known energy provider related to the parent group. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
