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

Erlenbach GmbH is a German medium-sized manufacturing company specializing in particle foam processing equipment, including pre-expansion machines, block molding machines, and shape molding machines. The company targets industrial manufacturers requiring efficient EPS and EPP processing solutions. Their website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS, offering multilingual support and a clear navigation structure. They provide comprehensive product information, customer testimonials, and training services via an Experience Center. Technically, the site is moderately optimized with cookie consent and uses Matomo for analytics, reflecting a good level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing standard HTTP security headers and publishing explicit security policies. Contact information is clearly presented with obfuscated emails to reduce spam risk. Overall, the website is trustworthy and business-focused with no signs of malicious or adult content.

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

7 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 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

Erlenbach GmbH holds a solid position in the manufacturing sector for particle foam equipment, serving B2B clients in industrial processing. Their business model revolves around selling specialized machinery and providing training and support services. The company maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels and customer engagement through testimonials. The partnership with hetech-group.com suggests a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and navigation support lead generation and customer education. No direct revenue streams like e-commerce are present, indicating a focus on direct sales and service contracts. Growth indicators include recent news updates and training offerings. The company appears stable with consistent branding and clear market positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no published security or incident response policies were found. Email addresses are obfuscated to prevent scraping. The use of Matomo analytics with opt-in consent aligns with GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and mature content management system. It uses compressed CSS and JavaScript assets for performance optimization. The site is responsive with mobile optimization and includes meta tags for SEO and social media sharing. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility compliance. No critical technical debt or risks were identified from the provided data.
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.
