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

ELKO EP Germany GmbH is a medium-sized technology company specializing in the manufacture and distribution of electronic module devices and electrical installation products, with a strong focus on smart home solutions such as the iNELS system. The company has a well-established market position as a leading European representative in the home electrical installation sector, supported by over 30 years of experience. Their website reflects a professional business model targeting both B2B and B2C customers interested in electronic and smart home products. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Foundation Framework, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Smartsupp Live Chat, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and user experience, though some accessibility and SEO optimizations could be improved. Hosting and DNS are managed via Forpsi, consistent with the company's Czech origins. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a consent mechanism denying ad and analytics storage by default, demonstrating some privacy awareness. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, and the site is safe for general audiences. Overall, ELKO EP Germany GmbH presents a credible and professional online presence with moderate technical and security maturity. Strategic enhancements in privacy documentation, security headers, and incident response readiness would strengthen their security posture and compliance standing.

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

7 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

ELKO EP Germany GmbH operates in the technology sector, focusing on electronic devices and home electrical installations. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence and comprehensive product offerings including smart home systems like iNELS. The business model combines manufacturing with digital services such as product configurators and online sales via an e-shop. Their target customers include residential and commercial clients seeking intelligent electrical solutions. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with related domains such as inels.com and differentnow.tech, enhancing their market reach. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and continuous product innovation. The company’s operations are supported by a professional website that facilitates customer interaction and product discovery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a default consent mechanism restricting ad and analytics storage. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, lack of security headers, and no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in compliance and security best practices. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the analysis. Enhancing security documentation and implementing security headers would improve the overall security posture and reduce potential risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of jQuery, Foundation Framework, and various JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking, alongside Smartsupp Live Chat for customer support. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes interactive features such as product configurators and sliders. Hosting is managed through Forpsi DNS servers, consistent with the company’s regional presence. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
