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

Eberspächer Gruppe GmbH & Co. KG is a well-established German automotive supplier specializing in exhaust technology, climate control systems, and automotive electronics. With a history spanning over 160 years, the company positions itself as a key player in clean and smart mobility solutions for the automotive industry. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive corporate presence targeting automotive industry professionals and partners worldwide. The business model focuses on manufacturing and supplying components and systems to automotive OEMs and related sectors. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design and user experience. The site incorporates consent management via Usercentrics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Performance and accessibility are good, with mobile optimization and SEO best practices implemented. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management, indicating a good baseline for privacy compliance. The absence of WHOIS data transparency is a notable concern, although the website content and branding strongly support legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional headers and published policies. The overall risk assessment is moderate-low, with recommendations to enhance domain registration transparency, publish security policies, and implement a vulnerability disclosure program. These steps would strengthen trust and compliance, aligning with the company's professional image and industry standards.

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

Eberspächer operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, focusing on automotive components and systems. Their competitive advantage lies in their long history, innovation in clean mobility, and diversified product portfolio including exhaust technology and climate control. Revenue streams likely come from OEM partnerships and aftermarket solutions. The target customers are automotive manufacturers and specialized vehicle producers. Growth indicators include recent product innovations and participation in industry trade shows. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, evident from their career site and social media presence. Strategic observations highlight a focus on sustainability, compliance, and technological advancement to maintain market leadership.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good, with HTTPS enforced and consent management implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating gaps in transparency and readiness. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced communication and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency to enhance trust and reduce suspicion.
  5. Continue to monitor and update consent management and privacy compliance to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system favored by enterprise and corporate sites. The front-end leverages jQuery, Bootstrap, and Flexslider for responsive and interactive UI components. Consent management is handled by Usercentrics, integrated via a dedicated script. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags, indicating a mature digital marketing setup. Performance is moderate with asynchronous and deferred script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, including skip links and ARIA labels. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which could impact trust and security posture.
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.
