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

Develey Senf & Feinkost GmbH is a long-established family-owned company based in Germany, specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of mustard, sauces, dressings, and fine foods. With a history dating back to 1845, the company operates internationally with a strong brand portfolio including Develey, Löwensenf, Bautz’ner, and others. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content about careers, sustainability, and product offerings. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and YouTube APIs, and is built likely on the Pimcore CMS platform. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism, though explicit security headers are not detected in the HTML source. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional site content and branding. Overall, Develey presents a credible and professional online presence consistent with its market position.

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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Develey holds a strong market position as a family-owned manufacturer and retailer in the food sector, with a diversified product portfolio and international reach. The company targets general consumers and business clients, including food service sectors. Its business model focuses on quality, tradition, and innovation, leveraging strong brand recognition. The website supports recruitment and sustainability initiatives, indicating strategic growth and corporate responsibility focus. Partnerships and related domains such as develey-foodservice.de suggest a segmented approach to market channels. The company’s digital footprint includes social media engagement on LinkedIn, enhancing its professional outreach and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit security and incident response policies accessible on the website to demonstrate preparedness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by including verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, utilizing third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and YouTube Player API for analytics and media integration. The CMS appears to be Pimcore, inferred from navigation element IDs and structure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The cookie consent implementation is robust, supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
