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

Daikin Germany's website presents a professional and comprehensive digital presence focused on residential heating, cooling, and air purification solutions. The company is positioned as a leading HVAC manufacturer in Europe, offering a wide range of products including heat pumps, air conditioners, and air purifiers. The site is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Google Analytics, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking visible privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms on the analyzed page. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but could enhance transparency and compliance aspects.

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

3 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 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

Daikin operates in the energy sector, specializing in HVAC solutions for residential customers in Germany. The business model centers on manufacturing and selling energy-efficient heating and cooling products, supported by a network of specialist dealers. The website reflects a large enterprise with consistent branding and a strong market position. Integration of customer reviews and ISO certifications supports credibility. The company targets homeowners seeking sustainable and comfortable climate solutions. The presence of a career site indicates ongoing growth and talent acquisition efforts. The digital ecosystem includes partnerships with analytics and marketing platforms to optimize customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is extensive but appears well-managed without obvious security risks. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from all pages.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.

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.
