Security report for engelbert-strauss.com

Engelbert Strauss GmbH & Co. KG · Retail · Germany

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

86/100

Risk levelLow

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

Engelbert Strauss GmbH & Co. KG operates the www.strauss.com website, a leading European retailer specializing in high-performance workwear and safety shoes targeted at tradespeople and farmers. The website is professionally designed with a strong international presence, supporting multiple languages and leveraging modern web technologies and CDN hosting for optimal performance. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, although direct contact details are primarily available via contact forms rather than explicit emails or phone numbers. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that requires further verification to confirm domain legitimacy. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, but the site lacks explicit security policies or incident response information.

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. 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';…

  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.

    • 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

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 strong market position in the retail and manufacturing sectors for workwear and safety footwear. Their business model focuses on e-commerce sales supported by a robust digital infrastructure and international logistics partnerships, including Global-E for payment and shipping solutions. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, targeting a niche audience of professionals requiring durable and reliable workwear. The lack of visible direct contact information suggests a controlled communication channel, likely to manage customer interactions efficiently. The missing WHOIS data is unusual for a company of this scale and should be investigated to rule out privacy or registration issues.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, CSP, and other security headers implemented. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies. The lack of direct security contact channels may hinder rapid incident reporting and response.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Investigate and clarify the domain WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct security and abuse contacts to improve incident response capabilities.
  5. Continue to monitor and update security headers and privacy compliance to maintain high standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, SVG for graphics, and advanced browser APIs like WebSockets and IndexedDB for enhanced user experience. Hosting is managed via a dedicated CDN (cdn.strauss.com) ensuring fast content delivery. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce operation with integrated third-party services for payment and analytics.
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.
