Security score

32/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Electro Terminal GmbH & Co KG is a medium-sized Austrian manufacturer specializing in connection technology for lighting, household appliances, and electrical installations. With over 60 years of experience and recognized innovation awards, the company serves OEMs and manufacturers with development, manufacturing, and distribution of connectors and related components. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend libraries and includes clear business and contact information, social media presence, and compliance-related pages such as privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of HTTPS/SSL is a critical security vulnerability that significantly impacts the site's security posture. While cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies are in place, no explicit security policy or incident response information is found. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates good content quality and business credibility but requires urgent security improvements.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. 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"

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 company holds a solid market position in the manufacturing sector for connection technology, supported by innovation awards and memberships in industry consortia. Its business model focuses on product development and distribution to OEMs and related industries. The website targets professional audiences in lighting and electrical installation sectors. The presence of a whistleblowing page and clear contact channels indicates a compliance-aware culture. The company leverages partnerships with recognized organizations and maintains active social media channels to enhance brand visibility. Growth indicators include recent investment projects co-financed by ERDF and product innovation announcements.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS/SSL, absence of HSTS, and no modern TLS protocols enabled. Security headers are minimal, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. While no known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, the missing encryption exposes users to risks such as data interception and phishing. The presence of a phishing warning on the site suggests awareness but also indicates past security incidents. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, which requires careful privacy management. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate remediation is necessary to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure data transmission.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Update server configuration to support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various jQuery plugins for UI and sliders. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is hosted on servers using Apache 2.4.25 on Debian, with DNS managed by domaintechnik.at. Despite a modern tech stack, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a significant technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic, with some legacy IE support scripts included. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt includes outdated server software and missing security best practices.
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.
