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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

ElringKlinger holds a leading market position as a system partner for the automotive industry, focusing on electromobility and lightweight technologies. Their business model is B2B manufacturing and system integration, serving automotive OEMs and suppliers. The company leverages a comprehensive compliance and corporate governance framework, as indicated by dedicated website sections. Their digital ecosystem includes partnerships with service providers like Cookiebot and Matomo for privacy and analytics. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, typical for large enterprises. The website content and structure support their strategic focus on innovation and sustainability in transportation and energy sectors.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism that allows granular user control, indicating a good privacy and security awareness. Use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Consider adding clear company contact information for security and compliance inquiries to improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS using TYPO3 Fluid templating, indicating a robust and scalable content management system. It integrates Cookiebot for consent management and Matomo for analytics, reflecting a privacy-conscious technology stack. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript assets, with asynchronous loading of tracking scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the presence of custom name servers suggests dedicated infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through enhanced caching and resource optimization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence.
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.
