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

Doepke Schaltgeräte GmbH is a well-established German manufacturer specializing in electrical safety products, particularly residual current devices (FI-Schalter), circuit breakers, and differential current monitoring systems. With nearly 70 years of experience, the company holds a strong market position as a leading expert in fault current protection technology. Their website offers comprehensive product information, training, downloads, and customer support, targeting professionals and businesses in the energy and electrical safety sectors. The company maintains a professional digital presence with multilingual support and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern frameworks like Bootstrap and FontAwesome. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization and user opt-out options. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, providing a good user experience and SEO performance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements privacy best practices but lacks explicit security headers and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the company's claims, showing consistent domain registration without privacy protection, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, Doepke's website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements could include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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.

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

Doepke operates in the energy sector, focusing on manufacturing and supplying electrical safety devices. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing expertise and comprehensive product range tailored to fault current protection. The business model centers on product sales complemented by training and consulting services. Their target customers include electrical professionals, installers, and industrial clients requiring reliable safety solutions. The company shows growth indicators through product innovation (e.g., new DFS PV and DFS HP devices) and maintains a strong partnership ecosystem via social media and industry certifications. The website content and structure reflect a strategic focus on customer education and support, reinforcing market leadership and customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, anonymized Google Analytics tracking, and cookie consent management. However, it lacks some security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and a publicly available security policy or incident response contacts. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling readiness. The absence of exposed sensitive data and the use of reputable third-party services reduce risk. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience across all devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with privacy-focused configurations. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, indicating compliance with GDPR. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business needs, though some security enhancements and accessibility improvements are recommended to reduce technical debt and future-proof the platform.
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.
