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

SCANTEC GmbH is a German technology company specializing in AI-driven solutions for the circular economy, particularly focusing on improving waste fraction separation and recycling efficiency. Their product portfolio includes Smartscan, Deepscan, Composcan, and Scansuite, which provide advanced image analysis and data reporting tools to municipalities and waste disposal companies. The company is relatively new, founded in 2022, and operates primarily in the German market with multilingual support for English-speaking audiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme, enhanced with plugins such as Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management and WPML for multilingual capabilities. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be managed via Cronon GmbH with name servers at rzone.de. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The domain registration details are consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and transparency. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image with good content quality and business credibility. However, improvements in security headers, DNS security, and explicit contact information would strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

SCANTEC GmbH occupies a niche market segment providing AI-based waste management solutions that align with EU circular economy goals. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating AI image analysis with real-time data reporting and citizen engagement platforms. The business model is B2B, targeting municipalities and waste disposal companies seeking to optimize recycling processes and reduce costs. The company demonstrates growth potential through its product innovation and partnerships, such as with AWS and TRUSTIF AI, as indicated by logos on the site. The presence of a newsroom with recent posts suggests active marketing and customer engagement. The multilingual website supports expansion beyond German-speaking markets.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website employs HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent but lacks advanced DNS security (DNSSEC) and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The absence of explicit contact information for security incidents reduces incident response readiness. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-known commercial theme (Enfold) and several plugins for multilingual support and cookie management. The tech stack includes jQuery, MediaElement.js, and LayerSlider, indicating a rich media experience. Hosting is likely provided by a German hosting provider associated with the registrar Cronon GmbH. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site lacks advanced SEO meta tags and structured data, which could be improved for better search engine indexing. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
