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

ERDINGER Weißbräu is a well-established Bavarian brewery founded in 1886, specializing in the production and sale of various Weißbier (wheat beer) products. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for showcasing their beer varieties, promoting brewery tours, fan club activities, and an online fanshop. The brand enjoys a strong market position in Germany and internationally, targeting mature audiences interested in traditional and quality beer products. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and rich content that supports user engagement and brand loyalty. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Matomo Analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Security is well addressed with HTTPS and a Content-Security-Policy header, although additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance the posture. Cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-compliant privacy policies are implemented effectively. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. The website links to trusted external domains related to the brand's fan engagement and e-commerce activities. Social media integration is robust, supporting marketing and community building. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. The content is suitable for mature audiences due to the promotion of alcoholic beverages and includes an age verification prompt. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security policies, and improving accessibility compliance to further strengthen the website's security and user experience.

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

3 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. 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

Business profile

ERDINGER Weißbräu operates in the retail and hospitality sectors, focusing on manufacturing and selling traditional Bavarian wheat beers. The company leverages a strong brand heritage dating back to 1886, positioning itself as a premium beer producer with a loyal customer base. Their business model integrates product sales, fan engagement through a dedicated fan club, and direct-to-consumer sales via an online fanshop. The company actively promotes events and campaigns to maintain market visibility and customer interaction. Their partnership ecosystem includes dedicated domains for e-commerce and active lifestyle promotions. The website content and structure reflect a mature, large-sized enterprise with consistent branding and high professionalism, supporting their market leadership and growth ambitions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header implemented to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR indicates compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests opportunities for hardening. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and formal vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Expand contact information to include direct company emails or phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Underscore.js, Owl Carousel, and FontAwesome for UI and interactivity, supported by Matomo Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site employs a Content-Security-Policy header to restrict resource loading, enhancing security. The HTML structure is modern and mobile-responsive, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph integration for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The site uses asynchronous loading for analytics scripts to improve load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
