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

EPLAN is a globally recognized provider of engineering software and services specializing in electrical, automation, and mechatronic engineering solutions. The company operates under the Friedhelm Loh Group umbrella and maintains a strong market position with a comprehensive portfolio of software products and consulting services tailored for industrial and manufacturing sectors. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting engineering professionals and industrial clients worldwide. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and HubSpot. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility practices, though some improvements in accessibility could be made. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent banners, but lacks some advanced security headers and a published security.txt file. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly but does not currently detract from the site's legitimacy given the professional content and associated domains. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure information, and improving accessibility to further strengthen the security posture and user trust.

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

4 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

EPLAN operates in the technology sector, focusing on engineering software solutions for automation and manufacturing industries. Their business model revolves around software licensing, consulting, training, and online services. The company targets industrial clients and engineering professionals globally, supported by a network of localized partner domains. Their affiliation with the Friedhelm Loh Group adds corporate strength and market credibility. The website's content and structure indicate a mature business with a clear focus on innovation and customer support, leveraging digital marketing and analytics to drive engagement and growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance. However, it lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web threats. No incident response contacts or security.txt files were found, indicating room for improvement in vulnerability management and transparency. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but may be due to privacy protection services. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional best practices to mitigate emerging risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website or trust center.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize security risks.

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.
