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

8 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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.

    • 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

  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 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 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 · 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

The company targets construction professionals and businesses requiring concrete and related materials, operating primarily in the manufacturing and transportation sectors. Their business model includes direct B2B sales supported by an online shop with real-time order tracking. The firm leverages sustainability certifications as a competitive advantage, aligning with market trends towards eco-friendly construction. The parent company, Hülskens Holding, provides a broader corporate ecosystem, with subsidiaries like Melius Baustofftechnik and Elskes Fertigteile enhancing service offerings. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with moderate technical sophistication and a focus on customer service and transparency. Social media links connect to the parent group’s profiles, indicating centralized brand management. No aggressive marketing or tracking tools are present, suggesting a privacy-conscious approach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, reflecting a baseline security and privacy posture. However, no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance analytics and marketing transparency by disclosing any data collection and retention policies if analytics are introduced.
  5. Maintain and regularly update CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, jQuery UI, Colorbox, and Swipe.js for UI components and interactivity. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded, but no major blocking scripts detected. SEO is supported by meta tags including description and robots directives. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL configuration. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern enough for a medium-sized business but could benefit from optimization and security header enhancements.
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.
