Risk levelHigh

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

egeplast international GmbH is a medium-sized German manufacturer specializing in innovative plastic piping systems for the transport of water, gases, data, and electricity. With a presence in over 30 countries, the company serves industrial and infrastructure clients, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative player in the energy and transportation sectors. The website reflects a professional and well-branded digital presence, supporting multiple languages and optimized for SEO and mobile devices. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, hosted by a reputable provider, and implements HTTPS with good security practices including reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page, which could improve transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the company's profile, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

egeplast operates in the manufacturing sector focused on plastic pipe systems, targeting utilities and industrial infrastructure markets. Their business model centers on product innovation and international distribution. The company leverages multilingual capabilities to reach diverse markets and maintains active social media channels for engagement. The website content and structured data indicate a mature digital marketing approach with SEO and content quality prioritized. No direct evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, suggesting independent operation. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals such as social proof and professional design.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses security best practices such as Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent management. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact compliance with emerging regulations. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanism was found, which is recommended for responsible security management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Explicitly configure and verify HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels including security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, and LayerSlider. It uses Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Hosting is provided by Pironet NDH, a reputable German hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility basics. Performance is moderate, with some inline CSS and scripts for above-the-fold content to improve load times. The multilingual setup via WPML indicates a mature internationalization strategy. Technical risks are low, but continuous monitoring of plugin security and performance optimization is advised.
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.
