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

EVH GmbH & Co. KG operates as a purchasing alliance for wood dealers in Germany, established in 2012 and part of the hagebau group. The company focuses on optimizing purchasing conditions and supporting its members through a network of over 50 sales locations and more than 100 supplier relationships. The website reflects a professional business presence targeting wood dealers and suppliers, emphasizing collaboration and market strength. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and Rocksolid Slider for interactive elements. It is hosted with INWX and uses HTTPS with proper session and CSRF protections. The site is mobile-optimized with basic accessibility and SEO features, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not present. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. WHOIS data aligns well with the business information, supporting domain legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with good privacy compliance and moderate technical sophistication. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding explicit security policies, and expanding analytics and marketing transparency for improved digital maturity.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

    • 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

  2. 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"

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

EVH GmbH & Co. KG holds a strong market position as the first pure wood alliance in Germany, leveraging the hagebau group's network. Its business model centers on cooperative purchasing and sales support for medium-sized wood dealers. The company benefits from a broad supplier pool and multiple shareholder companies, enhancing its competitive advantage. The website's content and linked domains reflect a well-established partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous experience exchange and marketing collaboration. The company targets wood dealers and suppliers, focusing on sustainable success and market strengthening.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and basic protections like CSRF tokens and session management. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of advanced security headers and explicit incident response information suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to mitigate emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Expand analytics and marketing transparency by disclosing tracking technologies and data retention policies.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Contao Open Source CMS with jQuery and Rocksolid Slider for frontend interactivity. Hosting is managed via INWX, with domain nameservers confirming this. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized. SEO is basic, with meta tags present but minimal. Accessibility features are basic, with skip navigation links and responsive design. The site uses Google Maps with a privacy-compliant two-click activation. No heavy analytics or advertising scripts were detected, reducing tracking footprint. Technical debt appears low, but security headers and advanced SEO could be improved to modernize the infrastructure.
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.
