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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 Diehl Group operates through multiple specialized divisions, each focusing on distinct industrial sectors such as metal processing, controls for appliances, defence technologies, aviation systems, and smart metering. This diversified business model allows risk mitigation and broad market reach. The company targets B2B customers, including international industrial clients and governmental defence agencies. The presence of sustainability and compliance pages indicates a commitment to corporate responsibility and regulatory adherence. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on transparency and stakeholder engagement, with dedicated sections for suppliers, press, and career opportunities. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and track performance, reflecting a data-driven approach to business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. Incident response contact information is present but not prominently displayed, which could be improved for better security readiness. The lack of a security.txt file or public vulnerability disclosure policy is a minor gap in transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional best practices to strengthen defense-in-depth and incident management capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency with security researchers.
  3. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response contact information to improve readiness and stakeholder trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Improve WHOIS data transparency by ensuring accurate and complete domain registration information is publicly available.

Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Analytics are implemented using Google Analytics and Matomo Tag Manager, providing comprehensive traffic and user behavior insights. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, supporting a professional and user-friendly web presence.
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.
