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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

elvatec ag operates primarily in the energy and transportation sectors, providing specialized electrical protection products and consulting services. Their business model is B2B, focusing on supplying and supporting professionals and companies in complex electrical safety scenarios. The company leverages its long-standing market presence and parent company DEHN SE's reputation to maintain a strong market position. Their offerings include product catalogs, training, software tools, and planning support, indicating diversified revenue streams and a comprehensive ecosystem. The website's multilingual capabilities and detailed content suggest a focus on international and regional markets, with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and secure login mechanisms. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate awareness of regulatory compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be improved to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to reflect evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, with JavaScript enhancements including Flickity for sliders and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive images. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but HTTPS and SSL configurations are excellent. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and further optimize performance.
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.
